A hot chase ensued as the NS manifest rolled North on the Illinois Northern this afternoon. With the storm clouds gathering, the 90 degree, 85% humidity, and the threat of a hail storm, it was chancy, but well worth the 20 mile chase. Managed to fire off several shots, but these looked the best. Enjoy!
The storm was building, so I snapped this one and then had to give up. Maybe another day... This one is about 2 miles north of West Chicago, the train has stopped short of the junction waiting for IN 303, a stack train, to clear the single track before he can go into single track for the next 6 miles.
