Скачать или смотреть Chicago Rail Link & Belt Railway of Chicago at South Deering, Chicago, 09.05.12

Hanging around the South Deering area of Chicago's far South Side on a recent Wednesday turned out to be well worth it. Not only was the expected (for the time of day) Belt Railway of Chicago local job switching the 100th Street Yard, but right alongside it, and later at Irondale Yard a few blocks away, was a Chicago Rail Link switch job!

The CRL job was using three of the road's older units- ex-Illinois Central SW14 #1460, and ex-OSS/Midland Michigan GP9us 4297 and 4438. The BRC job had an eclectic mix of power as well- BRC 3GS21B #211, one of the (so far) three gensets on the roster, SD38-2 #560, and leased, ex-BN SD40-2 #8140 sandwiched between them. A piece of the '38's brake rigging has come apart and is being run over constantly!
