Railfanning Along The BNSF 7/22/24

With some CPKC and UP sprinkled in.
Today I made an attempt to try and get BNSF 1706 leading R-CHI476 and while I did succeed at that, it was mainly switching around Rochelle for the day instead of going to Oregon or Eola. But before that I managed to snag CPKC 181 pulling into Bensenville with a Grey Ghost in the lead as well as snagging NS' Norfolk & Western Heritage Unit on the Mendota Sub before concluding the day with a bit of action in Joliet along the Chillicothe. Not a bad day all things considered. Enjoy!
