On 9/3/2016 I headed up to the Rochelle Railroad Park in Rochelle, Illinois for an evening of trains! I was not disappointed! It's always nice to catch trains in low-light as it get dark. The only real problem today is that there was a huge eastbound rush on the Union Pacific Geneva Sub from around 5-7pm. That would be awesome on normal occasions but the lighting was pretty awful since the sun was setting. Oh well, I made do with what I got and the second half of the trip, when the sun set, more than made up for it! The trains I caught today are:
(0:28) 1. UP AC45CCTE #7607 leads a Z-train with a mid-DPU
(5:51) 2. UP SD70M #4192 leads a manifest train
(10:59) 3. UP SD70M #4570 leads a autorack train
(16:46) 4. UP SD70AH #9052 w/ CSX ET44AH and SD70MAC leads a manifest train (M-CLPR according to Iowa Cornbelt Railfan). Mid-DPU on this train as well.
(22:10) 5. UP SD70M #4188 leads a manifest train
(28:03) 6. UP SD70M (what's with all the SD70's?) #5060 leads a manifest w/ John Deere tractors!
(34:01) 7. BNSF ES44AC #5964 leads a priority Z-train with a cool hornshow!
(36:30) 8. UP AC45CCTE #5409 leads a intermodal train into Global III with a cool hornshow!
(40:29) 9. BNSF C44-9W #4118 w/ NS power leads a crude oil train
(43:34) 10. UP AC45CCTE #7797 solo leads a manifest train w/ a DPU
