CN 5611
Title:  CN 5611
Description:  Today my dad and I are going to the Great Midwest Train Show in Wheaton, IL. After church and going to the show, we planned on doing some railfanning afterwords along the UP Geneva Sub and CN in West Chicago. On our way to Wheaton we cross over CN Markham Yard and BNSFs Willow Springs Intermodal Terminal, and since I now have a DSLR I figured maybe I could try to get some shots off the highway since I have a better camera. Despite having a better camera, everything was still garbage. But it was something. An autorack sits on the mainline at Markham in Homewood as we cross over the CN.
