Description: |
Iowa Interstate GP10 403 leads BICB through Joliet. This was the last time I ever saw a 400 leading BICB. The 700s would take over from here on out. Now, the 700s themselves are being replaced with GEVOs. |

WC 7518 on The "J" |
Description: |
WC SD45 7518 still in the old WC paint scheme makes a extremely rare appearance on the EJ&E. This would be the first of two WCs that would run down this line in 2005, the other being SD40 6001. I do wish WCs ran down this line more often! |
