I always admire your EJE photos that I've seen on railpictures.net, I hope to someday catch the EJE myself on a trip to Chicago. Can I ask, what are the best spots and times of day to catch daylight EJE stuff? I've heard Joliet yard is a good place to visit, is it? <br /> <br />Thanks for your time, <br />Noah <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Thanks guys. [:)] <br /> <br />Hi Noah, The Joliet Yard is a very nice spot. You never know what will be in there. I saw an Ontario Northland in there once. When EJ&E leased the Ohio Centrals, I saw all 3 of them in there. I also saw an FNM GP38-2 in there. I was told that the Ontario Northland was in there for passenger service. It had a beautiful yellow and blue paint scheme! The best time of day to see EJ&E is morning and evening. I think Sunday would be busier than Saturday. I live about 5 minutes from the tracks. Whenever I'm sleeping, I hear lots of horns during the night. The yard is restricted. If you don't pass the tresspassing signs, you should be fine. Thank you very much for your kind words on my photos. I'll keep them coming. Take care. [:)] Nick
