Thanks Jan,
Here is the link to all of my shots taken today. You can search 
around flickr CIRY 1206, and lots of pics will come up. There were 
about 20 railfans out so there are plenty of pictures. Here are mine.

> My name is Frank Campbell. I am a railfan in Chicago. One of my 
favorite lines to chase, is the Central Illinois Railroad's Lumber 
District. The line runs on ex CB&Q tracks 3 miles southwest of 
downtown Chicago. The line is run by two Ex Belt Railway of Chicago 
SW9's. One engine is in rough shape, just barely running and covered 
in graffiti. It is out of service at the time. But the other engine 
is in much better shape and was recently repainted. The engine is 
painted in the Way of the Zephyrs scheme. Instead of Way of the 
Zephyrs and Everywhere West on the longhood, it says Central Illinois 
on the long hood. Instead of Burlington Route on the cab it says city 
of Chicago.

gold, and invited local railfans to join in on the fun. Its maiden 
run was today on Halloween. The crew dressed up in 1950's attire and 
flew flags on the engine. If you are ever in the area, come and check 
it out. I have lots of pics if you want to post them on your site. I 
attached 2 pictures. The first is a group shot of all of us railfans 
around the engine and the 3 crew members on the front of the engine. 
The second shot was also staged. Thats Engineer Kevin Vahey at the 
control stand, running in notch 8 with a cut of 10 cars running 
uphill toward BNSF's Western Avenue Yard. If you want more picks let 
me know. If you want more any info, contact Kevin Vahey. He as a 
railfan (and engineer) would be thrilled to hear from you guys. Tell 
him I sent you.
