Just as we set up on the East side of the tracks for Amtrak, a doublestack train led by two IC units and a Trash-9 takes the yard lead into Markham. Since this train was blocking the track which Amtrak was supposed to run on, we knew we had time to catch it again.

Hey lewis, to CN its a General freight ( it is a Mix) and it does not Originate in carbondale, In act most of the yard tracks in carbondale are torn uot or out of Service. Grain trains start with the letter G in their Symbol. The reason for this train to have so much Grain is the stop in cairo Illinois where the Ohio and the Mississippi River Combine with a Couple Rail to Barge Facultys.

No, 431 is the northbound grain train from Carbondale to Decatur, IL. I don't know the symbol for intermodals, sadly... sorry :o

Well if they came up on CN 431 and down on CN 432, I'd be happy as ever, just like the IC days when I was railfanning just the Illinois Central and not with CN locomotives :P
