Railfanning Naperville and Elgin, IL 09/07/25 w/ brand new CPKC ET44ACs on CPKC 181

Описание: I started the day along the CN Leithton sub in Naperville, IL hoping for some decent action. It would be a bit slow though I would get a couple manifests, a local led by a CN paint IC SD70, and a vehicle train. Ever since the Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern merged into the CPKC Railway, there has been a decent increase in traffic on the CP Chicago sub which eventually runs with the Metra Milwaukee West Line. The daily CPKC 181 intermodal/vehicle train had 4 brand new ET44ACs as the power so I went up to the National St Metra Station in Elgin, IL. When the vehicle traffic is decent, they run a 781 which is seen before 181 and had CP 7020 (Army Temperate Regions SD70ACU) second of two. Also a Metra Milwaukee West train is featured led by a SD70MACH. Enjoy and don't forget to comment and subscribe!!!!
