Dates:1/15/2012 - 9/29/2012
Album Info:2012 was a good year to shoot the former Milwaukee Road mainline across northern Illinois. Now operated by the Canadian Pacific, the line had a variety of power during 2012: DM&E/IC&E, leasers and CP power were common. I hope you see something of interest in this album!!
