Railfanning Lake County 9/30/24 featuring Bad Order Setout

I feel bad for the crew of CPKC 247 tbh.
Today I made my rounds around Lake County to try and get CPKC 249 and 247 which had some pretty neat lash ups with the former consisting of a UP AC44 and a KCSM Gray Ghost and the latter having one of the CP HUs in the lead. 249 went without a hitch as I got them at Lake Forest, 247 on the other hand was a different story. Following a series of issues that happened just outside of Franklin Park and Morton Grove, it was decided they would have to set out a bad ordered boxcar due to a sticking brake, so we managed to see the move for that happen at Rondout as well as them highballing North through Russell, Illinois finally on their way to the Twin Cities. Enjoy!
Now here are the trains in order.
