CKRY 903 working on the Chicago Rail Link switches on the old Rock Island line south east of Chicago and along the Calumet river.
A very eclectic lash-up of GP power leads a CRL train out of Burr Oak Yard and onto the Metra Rock Island District main line.
The Chicago Rail Link heads west under the former Rock Island signals at Robbins after switching in Blue Island.
Just about all of CRL's power is seen here, laying over on a Sunday afternoon. Lots of leased and borrowed power made up of Omnitrax junkers and a neat old Central Kansas Railway GP9 can be seen.

Central Kansas 903 with LLPX 177 and CRL 15 ease up to the Metra station as they switch the industry along Metra's Blue Island Yard...
CKRY 903 and OKAN 1038 shove back to the CRL's facility all 3 railroads are owned by Omni Tracks.
Most of the Chicago Rail Link motive power is at rest here. Where else can one find an all first generation EMD roster featuring 7 GP7's all in service in one place?
Central Kansas 903 and Okanagan Valley 1038 head back to CRL's engine house.
A Central Kansas GP leads a sister as it heads for the Chicago Rail Link engine house after a day of switching.
One of the final runs for this unit over these rails - the K&O took over the line shortly after this picture was taken.
