GTW SD40-3s, Gary Railway, and more at CN's Kirk Yard!

On March 25th, 2020, I stopped by Canadian National's Kirk Yard in Gary, Indiana while on my way home from the Chesapeake & Indiana Railway. The east end pulldown job had 2 grey GTW lettered SD40-3s and an EJ&E SD38-2. This was the first time since 2016 that I've seen a GTW grey ghost unit leading a train. Shortly afterwards, I got a tip from a friend that the Gary Railway was about to shove into Kirk Yard with a pair of former EJ&E SW1200s for power. With low battery on my drone, I quickly got an aerial shot of the train passing some older CN power before heading home.

Great video and catches ! First time ever seeing the "Grey Ghost ". I've always knew that the Gary Railroad existed, but never seen it in action.

Great video Sam! I like the drone footage of the Canadian National train backing into Kirk Yard in Gary, Indiana and the Gary Railway doing the same. Looking forward to the Chesapeake & Indiana Railroad video that you took before you took these this video at Kirk Yard. Thank you for sharing this great video with us! By the way, what type of drone do you have?

[@SamLovesTrains]

Thanks! I use a DJI Mavic Mini for my drone videos.
