Four Trains Through Turner Jct.

The date is July 1993, and it had been raining almost up to the moment this video started, then it just became oppressively humid. First through was an eastbound CNW that had finished with a set out. Next came a Soo/CP detour, and then another CNW eastbound. The last was the normally nocturnal Elgin, Joliet & Eastern with three SD38–2 moving loads of coke.
