Simpler times takes us back to August 21, 2025, when me and my father made a last stop at Dolton Junction, Illinois before hitting the road for home on our Chicagoland Trip. Pictured in brilliant afternoon lighting, we are treated with an old CSX Dash 8 leader, #7903 slowing onto their approach on train M642-21 (Avon - Clearing) into Clearing Yard for their eventual termination. Meeting them shooting eastbound is high priority intermodal I104-21, sporting a rebuilt SD70AC #4762 in the lead, throttling up while beginning their journey from Bedford Park - South Kearney. This was one hell of a meet and I’d do a lot to go back and watch this unfold one more time.
