By:Gary Everhart
Dates:2/11/2012 - 2/11/2012
Album Info:Rumbling past my vantage point at Dolton, IL, this sunny February day were a beefy quartet of Canadian Pacific pulling a string of vehicular flats over a mile long. As they moved past, their throaty growl and the ground shaking vibration let everyone know that these boys meant business!
