July 15th, 2010 - Chasing the Rock Island heritage unit from Ottawa to Joliet, Illinois

After getting word of the Iowa Interstate, Rock Island heritage unit being on the point of a Menlo, IA., originated ethanol train, I got an early start out to Ottawa. Along the way, I heard the dispatcher holding him outside of Ottawa, for J745, CSX' westbound road freight. I stopped in Seneca, where J745 does its switching and there he was. I was quite happy with the SD40-2 leader. CSXT 8018 and Dash 9 7713 depart Seneca, with blocks to Ottawa Yard. J745 just west of Seneca. J745 crossing the IR diamond in Ottawa. Z027-14 (MEBI) got permission to head east through Ottawa, about two hours after J745 cleared into the yard. First shot: Crossing the IR diamond. Second shot: Passing the Rock Island, Marseilles, Illinois depot. Third shot: Rolling through Morris, IL. Fourth shot: Highballing through Minooka, IL. Fifth shot: Passing under the Rock Island signal bridge in Joliet, IL.
