NS train 66Z-05 heads east on the Kankakee Branch after getting the signal to cross the UP at Dwight. This loaded crude oil train, which apparently originated in the Permian Basin of Texas, was handed off from BNSF to Norfolk Southern at Streator; this B63 local crew picked it up there and brought it east. It eventually ended up at a refinery in Linden, New Jersey, routed via Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Altoona, Harrisburg, and Bethlehem.
