Viewing Album:  Busy Day on the "J"
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:6/11/2012 - 6/11/2012
Album Info:Since the purchase of the former Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway in 2009, the traffic on the "J" has increased dramatically. No longer are the mournful whistles of the EJ&E diesels the only sounds heard on the line. Now a variety?of power takes the curve at Griffith on the double track mainline. On this day, I was able to catch 3 of the trains that took the "J".
