Finally posted some videos to YouTube (my first time).
Caught this at Big Bay back in 2/22/13. I had to speed home to the west loop to grab my video camera. This was before I had a decent camera on my phone. I was only able to catch them leaving Goose Island. Wish I captured more but better than nothing.
Unfortunately, this is the only video I was ever able to get of this operation

Those were recorded in 1080p so make sure to check that in youtube settings. Your default might be set lower

Nice job capturing another era. It looks like the cab driver and/or passenger were in a hurry to see the train too at the end of the second video.
It appears they brought a load for Finkl Steel along for the ride in the gondola.
I shot mainly CP Rail on VHS-C back in the day on the C&E North Line. The transfer is not the greatest to digital as you can see on the various videos I uploaded to YouTube. Later I switched to a Sony camcorder with mini-DVD media but even that pales by comparison in terms of quality to what you can get from a new iPhone in terms of video.
