I took this photo on a sunny and somewhat mild December afternoon in 2006. An eastbound Canadian Pacific unit grain train, with a locomotive borrowed from the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad, is seen passing the Metra Mars commuter flagstop depot on Chicago's northside. The Mars depot is so named, because it is located adjacent to the M & M Mars candy Factory on North Oak Park Avenue in Chicago.Tuesday, February 12, 2008

Well -another two fallen flags, the CP has both the DM&E and IC&E.
ReplyDeleteThank You Terry.
ReplyDeleteI had the idea that this might
be an eventuality. I noticed
Iowa, Chicago & Eastern freight
trains traveling over the Canadian Pacific for some time now. I felt
the same way during the 1980's and 90's with all those Union Pacific diesel run thrus on Chicago & NorthWestern freight trains.
Thank You.
