Watching CP# 2256 At Davis Junction Illinois

Описание: It was getting late on a very cold January afternoon. I came into town following the old Milwaukee Road tracks from I-355 to Davis Junction. I was surprised to see a stopped freight train. That train was on the CP rails and facing east. I shot a couple of video clips and turned around to see CP# 2256 at the grain elevator. He was on the track that comes out of Rockford. Shortly after that, the through freight throttled up, and crossed the old diamond going towards Chicago (The diamond has had it southern connection removed in the last year or so). Once the train had cleared, the CP# 2256 pulled its string of cars onto those tracks. However, he then quickly backed up, only to reyurn a few minutes later! Why? I don't know. Possibly the long through freight had not cleared that block of track and it caused a signal SNAFU? Or, the railroad might have an arrangement with the Village not to block the tracks? In any case, I was able to record some nice clips and I hope you enjoy the show!
