Digital Live Sound Video: Southbound Canadian Pacific unit grain train. Baneckburn Illinois USA. January 2010.



A great place to view mainline railroading in the greater Chicagoland area, is far north suburban Baneckburn Illinois alongside Illinois U.S Route # 43 / Waukegan Road, just south of the intersection at Illinois U.S Route # 22 / Half Day Road.

Seen here is a Canadian Pacific Railroad heavy unit grain train, traveling southbound over the former Milwaukee Road north line with several tons of grain hoppers in tow.

Notice the two former Iowa, Chicago & Eastern Railroad locomotives in the engine consist up front.
