CN/IC Metra Electric/ South Shore And Chicago Sub, 107th And Kensington Jct, 5-13-10.

This is a video of Metra Electric and CN Chicago Subdivision footage on Chicago's far Southeast Side. Both lines are ex. Illinois Central. The Metra Electric line is entirely electrified and runs from Chicago's Millenium Station (formerly Randolph St. Station) in downtown Chicago South to University Park. It is 31 miles in length and has 49 stations along it's route most of which being in Chicago city limits. The platforms are higher than track level since the doors are higher on the cars, giving the trains the nickname, "Highliners." From about 16th Street in Chicago to the end of the line in University Park, the CN/IC Chicago Subdivision freight line parellels it to the East. There are two branch lines off the main on the Metra Electric. One going to Blue Island at State Street and another one that goes to 93rd Street which starts at 71st and Stony Island Avenue, then curves it's way South. North of Kensington, there are express tracks, running in each direction so South Shore trains and express Metra's don't have to interfere with any train making a station stop. The equipment used is strictly passenger mostly being the older ex. Illinois Central smoothside bi-level electric MUs built by St. Louis Car Company in the 1970s. There are a few newer Nippon Shayro cars that resemble a coach on a diesel route with pantographs. Chicago South Shore shares the line North of Kensington and runs their single and bi-level MU's. East of Kensington, the South Shore runs all the way ...

Action in BNSF's Clyde Yard, Cicero, IL: Part II

Taken from above on the Laramie Ave overpass, here's an action-packed afternoon at BNSF's Clyde Yard, in Cicero, IL, just barely outside of Chicago. Ex- Burlington Northern SD40-2s are the workhorses in this yard, shuffling well cars back and forth to make up intermodal trains. One of the units has a very old SW1200, of unknown heritage (but probably from a steel mill), dead-in-tow from National Railway Equipment (NRE). Any information on this unit would be appreciated- whose it was, where it is going, etc. GP38-2s in newer BNSF Railway paint are here too, and one, #1967 teams up with a very rare, ex-ATSF GP40X for switching duties in the yard. The GP40X is identified by its flared rear radiators (similar to an SD45), and on some roads, by its experimental high adhesion trucks. Santa Fe had 10 of them, and they all carried over to BNSF with the merger. A stack train with a run-through CSX Dash-9 and an ex-BN SD40-2 also appear here-- foreign power coming off the Belt Rwy of Chicago often appears at Clyde. Metra/BNSF Line trains shuttle back and forth from the city to the suburbs on the passenger tracks skirting most of the intermodal portion of the yard, and Amtrak's Southwest Chief and California Zephyr run through as well. The rush hour brings a huge density of trains, up to two every five minutes or so, especially outbound, on the road's famous "racetrack" to Aurora.

Longhouse 6 TentBy Jimmy GWhen receiving the item one of the poles had a stretch rope that broke. Repaired but a pain.

There are two small 2 section poles not even mentioned in the instructions that go on the lower windows on each side of the tent. After initial assembly 1 1/2 hours (mostly due to poor instructions) I looked for an exit for each room. Well their is only one door to exit.
