20161111,22 Gilman Railfan: CN, Alco, TP&W, CN (corncrib)

Rail fanning is like fishing ---- many of the interesting ones get away from you. In the little CN/IC yard near Otto, IL next to I-57 we saw a modern looking caboose with fresh CN paint. It was parked on a track by itself. But, unfortunately, the camera was in its case so we missed getting a picture. So does CN have a shoving platform in the Kankakee area now? On my next trip south on I-57, I'll have the camera out of the case before I pass Kankakee.

After chasing that train, I went back to the Cargill Elevator to take some more pictures. These are from parking lots north of their property.

 While at the Cargill elevator, a northbound CN train arrives.

I take lots of pictures of the engines in the "window" between silos hoping that later I will be able to get the numbers on all of the engines.

 I took a couple of this critter hoping to get a good shot of it.

Taking more pictures of the northbound CN train before we leave the Cargill elevator.

We caught up to the southbound CN train around milepost 267.
