A Weston empty hopper train heads west on the Adams Sub just outside of Butler. Ordinarily, this train would be pointed south and headed toward Chicago; recent heavy snows have bollixed up railroad operations in Illinois. Train was in Butler for a 1,000-mile inspection, and is now poised to go west toward Minnesota, where it will eventually go south and ultimately west toward the mines. Train is paused at Lilly Road to wait for the conductor to jump on.
