Holy cow! BC Rail in charge of M343 at Crest Hill!
After spending a good portion of the day at Blue Island, I had to leave and run some errands. On my way home from the errands, I heard scanner chatter about the M343 getting ready to depart Joliet Yard. Since this portion of the line is now CTC, track authorities are no longer issued. Not knowing...


CN 2441 leads the first westbound CN M343 down the J on the first inaugural run at Joliet, IL.
If lash-ups like these keep rolling through, I wouldn't mind it too much. CN C40-8M 2441 and CN SD70M-2 8012 lead the first westbound CN M343 through Crest Hill, IL. on the EJ&E Western Subdivision. The rain just wouldn't stop this morning. Filmed on 03/10/09.
