Chicago Tribune Yard...

I actually saw a UP engine with 7 or 8 empties heading to North Ave yard about 5:30 today!  I think you could have seen that, or perhaps some full cars dropped off first.  I saw a UP engine in the Trib yard this morning on the way in too - about 8:00am.  Lots of action today!

There\'s talk about the Tribune Company\'s new owner, Sam Zell, selling the Tribune Tower on Michigan Avenue and moving the management and staff into the Freedom Center to cut costs.

The Tribune is slowly shrinking with more dramatic changes planned, so the need for newsprint in boxcars could go down.
