Metra Westbound # 2241 Bensenville,IL 1998 Part 5

Here is Westbound Metra train # 2241 at Bensenville which is not stopping at Bville. It is pulled by a F40PH and has a very nice Nathan P5A horn on it. Tower B17 at 6:06 PM on the old Milwaukee Line to Elgin. At the time this was filmed I worked the afternoon West Yard job at Bensenville for Candian Pacfic Rwy. And the Foreman on the job was the late Anthony “Tony” Johnson who was one of the nicest people I ever had the pleasure to work with, and while the job went on duty at 3:30 PM we never went to work until after all the line jobs that is to say Industry switchers had came back from the city and Tony would call me on the radio otherwise I was free to film until it was time to go to work. The we would work until about 9 or 10 PM and go home with 12 hours pay and all the work finished.Sadly in 2001 “Tony” was killed on this assignment after a freak accident occurred and he was run over by a set of freight car trucks. These videos are all dedicated in “Tony’s” memory RIP Anthony, Johnson.
