Album Info:Almost seemed like a flashback to an earlier time when these two former Elgin, Joliet and Eastern SD38-2 units came rolling through Griffith, IN, like they used to before the Canadian National purchase in 2000.

EJE SD38-2 #672 & #673 - former Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Rwy
Title:  EJE SD38-2 #672 & #673 - former Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Rwy
Description:  Not one but two beautiful orange "J" units rolled through Griffith eastbound on its former mainline with a string of coil cars so reminiscent of years ago.

EJE SD38-2 #672 - former Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Rwy
Title:  EJE SD38-2 #672 - former Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Rwy
Description:  EJE #672 begins crossing Broad Street in its run east on the former EJE mainline. Only thing missing is the lonely plaintive cry of its horn since the EJE line through Griffith is now a quiet zone.

EJE SD38-2 #672 - former Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Rwy
Title:  EJE SD38-2 #672 - former Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Rwy
Description:  After crossing Broad Street, former EJE #672 heads toward the curve taking the train toward Van Loon Yard, a likely spot to drop the string of coil cars or farther up the line to Kirk Yard which is in the process of being revamped by Canadian National.

EJE SD38-2 #673 - former Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Rwy
Title:  EJE SD38-2 #673 - former Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Rwy
Description:  Trailing behind the lead unit is #673 as it begins its crossing of Broad Street in downtown Griffith. Still looks great with "The J" logo standing out sharp against the bright orange paint!

EJE SD38-2 #672 & #673 - former Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Rwy
Title:  EJE SD38-2 #672 & #673 - former Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Rwy
Description:  Note the "air conditioning" on this hot August day - both doors open. Makes it easy to go from one to the other too! The new turnout from the EJE mainline to the CN mainline can just be seem to the front left of the lead unit. This must be a new "lay of the land" for these two returning units.
