Does anyone know when the UP typically has been running (if typically) switching operations South out of the North Ave yard toward Bloomer?

Went out this past Tuesday and took some pictures. They were having problems getting through some of the snow piles and clearing it from the switches, but nothing they needed a backhoe for. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cardstock/sets/72157612541897986/

Not really sure to what capacity this means to anything or anyone, but there was a CP Rail (want to say it was a GP38) sitting by itself on the west side of the Bloomingdale line right at the A2 tower this morning as my Metra train went west at about 8:15....

They are located on the South side of the tracks at the Hanson Park Metra Station in Chicago. The bridge for Central Ave. going over the tracks actually seems like it would be a good place to shoot pictures from.
On the map it is here:

The train, or at least what seems like the passenger cars that house the circus employees, s sitting where it was last year, on a siding at Central Ave. My Metra train passes it everyday on its way to Elgin.
