Yesterday, 12/29, I went out to LaGrange Ill to watch for the first time in 2 weeks. Just before LaVenge, on the Metra commuter train, I looked back into the BNSF Cicero Engine Yard and was very supprised to see a Soo Line engine and a Blue and Yellow Santa Fe U-Boat, I thought U-Boats were gone? Anyway right when I got off of the train I was about to cross the street when, the gates started to lower. I looked east and saw a ball of light comming at me. I pulled out the video camera as quick as I could and watched the BNSF dash 9 and the BN SD40-2 highball past LaGrange Road. As this was happening a scoot was pulling into the station. Quite a sight! Later a Light engine move with A BNSF Sd40-2 and a BN GP 38 came through town heading inot Cicero Yard. 5 minutes later a train full of empty doublestack flatcars came absolutley FLYING through LaGrange. As the action on the BNSF died down I decided to go over by the IHB/CSX joint line under the Ogden Ave. overpass. I had never seen anything on this line in my 6 times coming to LaGrange, although people said it was busy too and this time I saw 2 trains less then a half hour apart. A CN manifest train with 2 SD70I's and a, gasp!, WC SD45 went under the Ogden Ave. overpass and came crawling by. I waved to the Enginier and he waved back. This train took 10 minutes to go by. The train, as it was passing by, crossed over two tracks, so I decided to stay a little longer. Finally I started to walk up to the Overpass but then I saw lights of in the distance. I rushed back down the stairs and set up next to the tracks. It was a CSX Manifest with a SD40-2 and a Dash 9 plus an extremely aged CP Rail Geep. All in all it was my best day ever in LaGrange.
