West Chicago is one of the best junctions in the Chicagoland area thanks to the PUBLIC sidewalks that get you real close to the action. Plus since the CN took over the J, the freight traffic is insane here. It was also even better before the J became a quiet zone.
It's ironic cuz you guys normally railfan Northbrook and surrounding area and I was there yesterday. And yesterday you were railfaning where I normally do, West Chicago. It's like we swapped places... (*_*)
Those CITX Units look very nice. Look similar to CEFX, but it’s the little differences :3 Any idea if those units will be roaming around Chicago for a while? I wish to catch them before they leave for good
Who needs ITunes when you can listen to this

Are citx still in town? In the Chicago area?
CSX Railfan 135, the CITX engines were heading north on the CN Leithton Sub. So not sure where it is currently.
I stand corrected, I guess they do blow their horns.
