CN had some trouble today in Joliet. EJ&E 663 and EJ&E 657 brought an eastbound loaded taconite train into Joliet Yard. The big challenge was climbing the hill out of Joliet. According to radio chatter, the train was making 3 MPH at one time during the climb and the crew was reporting that it was going to be close whether they made it or not. Eventually, the train ended up stalling at MP 3, just short of South Rowell Avenue. Two SW1200's were sent to the rescue and they gave the train a push up the hill.
In all of my years of going to Lisle, I've seen trains race, I've seen trains meet, and in three cases I've seen three trains meet right in front of me, but this is still a first for me. A Metra running 6 minutes late, meets CHCSSE with was apparently running some 20 minutes early. In the end, it made for a perfect meet at Lisle, though the freight won in the end, seeing how the Metra had to stop at the station. --Please Rate And Comment-- Location: Lisle, IL Lead Unit: BNSF 1014? & METX 188 Train ID: Z CHCSSE & unk.

Here's another train caught by accident on the CN Joliet Subdivision. While driving back from a friend's house in Downers Grove, I saw black smoke coming from the tracks while crossing the Lemont Road Bridge. I turned onto New Avenue to see what was up and came across this Loram Rail Grinder, a train dedicated to keeping the rails in good shape. I recall seeing this exact train sitting in CN's Markham Yard out in Homewood on the CN Chicago Subdivision. The train consists of a huge unit with specially shaped wheels and grinding stones, two tank cars loaded with water, two crew coaches, and a caboose equipped with a water cannon to extinguish stray sparks. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see it in action despite the 40 minutes I hung around. I had to do these drive by shots since there was no place to set up the camera and because I didn't want to leave my vehicle unattended to long on the side of the road where several dump trucks were speeding by. I hope you enjoy the stuff I got here. I wish I could have gotten some some better quality footage. (c) 9th Street Productions.
