The LPR60 job no longer uses a waycar for their Tuesday and Friday operations into Chicago.  CNW 11119 is usually located at Proviso yard.  Prior to the north avenue yard and late the proviso yard the CNW 11119 was located a UP's elk grove facilities west of O'hare.  if someone can share a email address I would be happy to share some pics i have from over the years.  i apologize as i have no digital footprint to speak of.

LPR60 is the new job name for YNO68.  I believe LPR60 makes the trip into the city on Tuesdays heading in around 9:30-10:30am and out between 2:30 and 3:00pm.  I believe LPR60 heads north to Glenview and North Chicago on Wednesdays.  As UP local schedules get more solidified I will advise with any updated information.

The story goes UP management caught a crew stealing time and subsequently decided they were better off to eliminate the North Avenue job.  Waukegan and North Ave. will be based out Proviso Yard.  UP has also eliminated the Bain local (Kenosha, WI).  Bain is now picked up/dropped off by LPR50 out of Proviso and LBU51 from Butler yard.  UP has opened up a few extra spots on the extra boards, but the changes have eliminated about 10 positions.
