Viewing Album:  Homewood Dead Line
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:7/27/2012 - 7/27/2012
Album Info:On the way home from Illinois, we passed by the nearly deserted CN Homewood shops to see if there was anything left. A lot of the action has been shifted to other locations, namely Kirk yard which is much more difficult to photograph than this area. Did find this dead/sale line with 3 lost souls.

Dead/Resale Line at Homewood
Title:  Dead/Resale Line at Homewood
Description:  Not much to see anymore, even in the dead line but a couple "I-ball" switchers and a lonely CN switcher that looks like it came down from the north!

Title:  IC 1507 - Illinois Central
Description:  Shooting through barbed wire makes me think of a concentration camp - and these unlucky souls are the prisoners on the dead line!

Description:  May be the last time anyone ever sees these switchers. There again, maybe they will be reborn somewhere else and serve out their remaining days.
