US steam: 765 Joliet Rocket (video)

Here is the 765 pulling past heading towards lasalle st station in Chicago. I'm standing at New Lenox just to the west of I-80 17 June 2017. The METRA locomotive on the rear is suppling power and pulling on the return trip to Joliet. For those of you who can't figure it out it was called THE JOLIET ROCKET because it was on the Rock Island from Joliet to Chicago.
