For the past week or so a duo of IC GP40R rebuilds had been running the Kankakee Local. I decided as a pre-bithday treat to myself I would go out and follow them on their little trip south to the yard in Otto, IL and back. I got up early in the morning and made the long drive west from Ossian to Kankakee where I awaited the crews OD time. I was able to catch some other action as well. Almost as soon as I arrived at the Kankakee Amtrak Station, a northbound intermodal with 2 Tier 4 GEs passed. |
