  • Some noontime action on an overcast day at and around Kilbourn Avenue on the West Side of Chicago. Canadian Pacific (Soo Line power), Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern and Metra are all represented here. This location is where the Belt Railway of Chicago north-south main passes over UP's ex-CNW triple track, the Geneva Sub (Metra's UP-West Line). On the Geneva Sub just east of here is the UP / Metra engine shop- there is also a small freight yard behind it, which serves local industries. The UP switch job responsible for this is seen a few times in this video. Train descriptions following:
    Train 1:
    Seen overhead from the Cicero station on the CTA Green Line 'L', Soo Line GP38-2s #4413 and 4443 lead a CP transfer from Clearing Yard north on the Belt towards Bensenville Yard.
    Train 2:
    After dropping off passengers at the employee-only stop at Keeler Ave, an outbound Metra UP-West Line train continues towards Oak Park and the western suburbs. F40PH-2 #142, the 'Ravinia', leads four bilevels west.
    Train 3:
    Creeping through the locomotive facility, passing five F40PHs awaiting the evening rush, UP GP15 Y729 heads for the industrial area to the north of the shops with a short string of cars. After dropping off a few, several minutes later it returns with its short train and runs around it in order to ease switching on the other end of the shops.
    Train 4:
    NS SD70M-2 #2678 and C40-9W #9857 get a relatively short manifest moving east, heading for Rockwell / Kedzie Interlocking, where they'll access the joint UP / CSX (B&OCT) main, eventually ending up at either Ashland Avenue Yard or possibly Calumet via 80th St and Pullman Jct.
    Train 5:
    Metra F40PH-2 #162, the 'Village of Elburn' leads the seven-car, outbound UP-West Line train #33, which includes ex-C&NW/RTA Pullman bilevel #7794.
    ~Thanks for watching!~
