Right at 4:20, an IHB transfer appears with one of two of their SD38-2s leading.

More IHB traffic hits the mainline. A transfer from the North passes through the junction.

4:49PM-
An Executive Mac was put second out on this trackage rights coal train on the CSX.
BNSF ES44AC #5986
BNSF SD70MAC #9808
4:45PM-
The rain hasn't fallen yet as an intermodal to the CSX overtakes the coal drag.
CSXT ES44DC #5441
CSXT ES44DC #5270
5:17PM-
The rain begins to fall over Blue Island as some CSX light power goes by.

5:53PM-
CN #5706's P5 blasts in the rain as it leads a manifest North on the connector then stops.
CN SD75I #5706
CN C44-9W #2645
5:57PM-
Of course when it stops, it blocks out an IHB job with a caboose.
IHB SW1200 #1503
6:00PM-
Another IHB job follows being one of the more rarer ones I've seen. Two old EMDs lead a Dash-9 on a transfer most likely out of Corwith.

I hear another horn to the East on The Rock, and sure enough, a pair of Geeps roll across the bridge, ready to work the evening BISW job.

IAIS GP38-2 #701
7:11PM-
The light power has since switched onto the connector line, this time with #701 in the lead.
7:35PM-
The power disappears across the river for a bit, the reappears on the IHB, headed for the yard to do some switching.
7:39PM-
Traffic has obviously been picking up on the old GTW lately as yet another train shows up. General CN power leads an intermodal up the connector line.
