Viewing Album:  Rail-Fanning 2017 Vol. 4
 
By:Matthew Schimmel
Dates:4/2/2017 - 4/23/2017
Album Info:This album covers my adventures for the month of April. I managed a trip to Decatur, Illinois for a weekend during this month and caught some pretty cool stuff. Other than that trip, nothing exciting in my normal range, I did manage to catch the CNJ Heritage Unit near the end of the month.

Focus On WABIC
Title:  Focus On WABIC
Description:  Soon the existing inter-locker signals that stand guard over the WABIC diamonds will be no more and make way for the new "wave of the future" PTC signals. Not sure if the WABIC sign will make the transition as well... Here we see one of the units (CN 2035) on the CN train L532 passing through the WABIC diamonds. CN 2035 - C40-8: was originally built for the CNW as 8536 and later became UP 9058. After its disposal Citicorp Inc. had it for a few moments as CREX 9058 before being bought up like many other C40-8"s by the Canadian National.
