Blue Island, IL, June 2nd, 2011

Took a short swing over to Blue Island, Illinois. I had never been to Blue Island, but had heard about the number of trains that go through there every day. Well, when I finally got there I really began to wonder if they really had as high of a train volume as I had been told (took 30 minutes for the first train to show up). The first train was worth the wait, a CSX passenger train.

Next up was what I believe to be Iowa Interstates BICB, which was passing through to make a reverse move  later on.

After that it was three CSX intermodule trains to finish out the brief trip.
CSX 5287 ES44DC

 CSX 5278 ES44DC

CSX 689 AC60CW
