    We're used to it here. That train was a CSX run-thru empty westbound ethanol train interchanged in Chicago. Remember the former CNW double main still utilizes ATC with in-cab signals, thus the reason for a UP leader.

    I believe the GS-2 was the first locomotive of a double head freight train judging by the train number on the number board. Second section of # 824 does not correspond with any passenger train that I am aware of.

    We're used to it here, too. It was well below zero last night. Sometimes the visual impression from a photo just gives the feeling of being there, and feeling a bit chilled.
