GRW 7130 - Gary Railway
Title:  GRW 7130 - Gary Railway
Description:  Since the 2009 sale of the Elgin Joliet & Eastern Ry to Canadian National, I've collected shots of the newly spun off carrier, Cary Railway, as it absorbed the former EJE coil cars like this one. Sad to see the "J" cars disappear but at least they went to a local company.
