CN Train At Elmhurst & CSX Train At Hillside Plus Backhoe Chase

Three scenes from across three days....
We start in Elmhurst Illinois along the CNRY's Freeport Sub. A mixed freight is seen westbound at the St. Charles Road grade crossing (next to York High School. Class of 1980 Rules!). Next, we get to see a eastbound CSX train at Hillside. The view shows the power coming out of the Tri-State Tollway tree tunnel and then running along I-290! Then, we get to see MOW with a railway backhoe. I chased it from Butterfield Road to the Oak Ridge crossing. I'm still trying to figure out if the attached device is a magnet, or a whomper of some sort?
