CN 3023 The Elgin Joliet & Eastern Heritage unit leads a stack train through Plainfield, IL!

Filmed: 1/31/25
Note: Watch in 4k or 8k for Better quality
After checking the Heritage Units app, I received word that CN 3023 was leading a stack through Frankfort Illinois, and would be heading for the CN Leighton sub, I got my equipment ready to roll out when I would receive further updates on it's move. Unfortunately, not a lot of people were out for this catch as no further updates were given. I arrived with a couple minutes to spare and scoped out a spot with decent lighting. Other than that a good way to start of the new year with the first heritage unit.
