The Pepperidge Farm bakery between Downers Grove and Westmont gets a couple covered hoppers ~4 times a week. The same local switches the Hines lumber yard in Downers Grove and may do the Gee sidings in Hinsdale & LaGrange as well. The local originates out of Eola usually around 11-12 a.m. and returns 2 - 3 hours later. Some days the loco has been turned, so it probably went to Congress Park, other times it hasn't. Motive power is often a GP38, but sometimes it runs with a GP30 still painted SF blue & yellow. The consist varies from just 2 covered hoppers to the hoppers plus 2-4 lumber flats. I believe I've also ssen a corn syrup tank car and occasionaly a box car or two. <br /> <br />On most days, after the morning commuter ru***here's a parade of Eastbound Intermodal traffic. One of the last through is a UP-CSX train, often with UP SD70s. This is followed by a coal train between ~11-11:30 a.m. and the local usually shows up going east after that. There's hourly commuter service in each direction, so the local has to work around that.
