WC at JB

            On the point of symbol Q116, Canadian National ET44AC 3069, the Wisconsin Central heritage unit, passes JB Tower in West Chicago, Illinois, about to stomp across the triple track of UP's Geneva Sub.  A steady string of northbounds posed a significant delay for Q116, but in the end, the timing couldn't have been better, as the sun popped out just a few minutes before the shutter clicked.  I really want to like this resurrection of the Wisconsin Central more than I do- I'm sure the nitpicks about this adaptation of the livery are common knowledge by now.  Warts and all though, the clean and bright maroon and gold admittedly was a welcome sight- especially after standing outside for a few hours in the single-digit temps!
