Hi there! Last weekend I went to Iowa on Illinois Tollway 88. Knowing that there might be some trains to see, I brought binoculars. <br /> <br />On the ex-CNW UP Chicago line (my favorite) I saw an interesting site! On an Chicago bound intermodal, there were two engines. The lead one looked like a Dash-9 or SD70M (It was a mile away, so it was hard to tell, even with binoculars). And then, behind it, was a grayish SD40-2, or something. Again, it was a long way away! But I could tell that it was an older unit. It was also unmarked, at least as I could tell (although I could not read the nember off of the other engine). They were only two engines, and maybe 20 doublestacks. It would very shortly enter Rochelle, so it might be on the webcam previous trains page, but being last Saturday, it would have been deleted. But maybe someone saw it? <br /> <br />So, why is it unpainted, and are they other engines like it?
