Former Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway SD40-2s #672 and 669, plus Canadian National SD70M-2 #8862 are working the Markham Yard Job, on CN's former Illinois Central mainline, at the former IC Markham Yard. When CN acquired the 'J', the EJ&E units ended up as far away as Iowa. These two have been at Markham Yard for some time now, at Homewood, Illinois.

*sigh* I saw them in pics, not IRL. I'm too young to have seen the working ones - most roads retired and scrapped them in the late 60's. But even in piccies, those things had PRESENCE!
