A EJ&E Single SD38-2, #654 prepares to move an empty coal drag to Joliet Yard after having to wait to get clearance over the Metra diamond.

I was talking with the engineer a little. He told me how upsetting the CN buyout is and how it didnt look good for his job. He was also upset over the fact that CN will probably sell off the SD38-2s. He said he loves running them. Damn shame.

  • CN is going to have a fight with there pending merger with the J and the Rich Folks up by me in Barrington Hills and area. These folks are not so happy that CN plans to increase traffic by 5x from 4 trains a day to 20 a day!

  • Yes the senate is not passing the merger for some reason. It wont get passed them. The whole buyout could be terminated!??

  • This is now owned by the RR I work for, it's a straight SD38, by the way.

  • Umm...654 is an SD38, not and SD38-2

  • Great throttle up, horn, and video!!!

  • CN isn't the smartest railroad. They scrapped a entire roster of WC SD45s that ran perfectly fine, then complained how power short they were! Great video! Hopefully Barrington can show them that they are not invisable because CN thinks nothing can stop it.

  • Prob cause of these towns and the CN buying to many railroads in the area like WC and IC. Don't get me wrong, i wouldn't mind seeing more train traffic here in the northwest burbs but i would like the J to stay around. So if the CN bought the western sub past west chicago to waukegan that would not be such a bad thing i believe.

  • Very Great video, the backdrop and lighting is just right. Its a shame they got bought out though, its never good to see a railroad become a fallen flag. 5 stars/faved

  • Got to love those horns!

  • Awesome !!! Hope you know how lucky you are !!
