The Long West finishes their work in Rondout by taking a couple of cars over to the CP, shown here passing the unique "EZ Throw" switchstand that controls the switch on the West leg of the wye. |

The Long West job is pulling down on the East leg of the wye to make room while switching out their cars in the yard. EJE 662 is one of the few SD38s left in the older J-ball scheme. |

The Long West job has finished their work in Rondout and is headed back to their yard where they will die on hours. Running late today, the crew were on the job at 2:00am and now face the prospect of cabbing back to Joliet in the afternoon rush hour traffic. |

EJ&E 303 takes their train to Rondout, shown here on the air line between the C&NW and the North Shore line... Okay, okay, between the UP Kenosha sub and a street where the North Shore rails used to be... |

Destined to disappear into the Gary steel mills once the CN aquistion of the EJ&E is finalized, Yellow switcher #303 is allowed to roam the west end of the line while the usual power, GP38 #703 is down for repairs. |

One of EJ&E's six jet engine equipped snow blowers is working the EJ&E western sub, blowing out switches. This one is a Hurricane Jet Snow Blower model from Portec's RMC Division. |

Switcher EJE 303 is back from Horicon with a fresh coat of yellow paint. This is the second unit to wear this color. EJE 446 was the first yellow unit delivered this year from the Horicon paint shops. |

The Long West job is backing the interchange cars down to the CP siding. In a couple of weeks this scene will change, with new tri-color signals and crossing gates for Arcadia Rd. |

EJ&E's first unit to come back from Horicon in yellow paint was 446. This unit is so bright that a "into the sun" shot almost works... |

The local is headed into the yard to kick some cars. 310 is pinch hitting on the local job as 703 is down for its 92 day inspection. |
