An Iowa Interstate SD38-2 running long-hood-forward leads one of the road's new GEVOs with a mixed freight bound for Iowa across Vermont St in Blue Island. Quite a bit of ethanol cars in this train, as well as some container stacks mixed in. Check out the McCloud River Railroad boxcars on the end! This location is directly between Metra Electric District's Blue Island Branch terminal station, and Metra's Rock Island District Vermont St Station, whose two platforms serve Chicago- and Joliet-bound locals and expresses. Incidentally, waiting for this IAIS train caused me to miss the outbound Electric District train- you can glimpse it departing in the background...
