An episode of the NBC thriller/drama "Chicago Fire" filmed at the Illinois Railway Museum recently is scheduled for broadcast on Tuesday, November 19that 10 PM, 9 PM Central and Pacific time, on NBC (and available afterwards via online streaming at http://www.nbc.com/chicago-fire/ ). The episode features "derailed" tank cars on fire (and presumably threatening to explode) along with a set of restored C&NW galley cars in yellow and green..... and I *thought* I saw a brief glimpse of an E8 in the promo..... |

Did anyone notice that they rescued someone from an ex-PRR trailer in a previous episode? |

No - this scene was shot in the south side of Chicago, north of I-55 in the vicinity of Ashland Avenue, where there is open land. Probably just dumb luck they got an ex-PRR trailer. You could clearly see where the keystone was on the end door. Chris. |

Engine was F-7A, CNW 411 with our Bi-Level train temporarily vinyled over to The “Chicago Commuter Rail Authority” It was definitely a big production for a single TV episode. It was interesting to see the huge amount of detail work put into setting up and shooting. Two Bi-Levels and a tank car were gingerly craned into the open area between barn 9 and the steam coal-loading track to simulate a crash and derailment. The North West Herald did a story… http://www.nwherald.com/2013/10/04/chic ... on/a17hg5/ …and some photos. http://www.nwherald.com/2013/10/04/chic ... n/dr1wm6y/ Plenty of IRM members were on hand to watch but we were asked not to share photos until after the show aired. |
