A very short southbound is approaching the grade crossing at Platteville on the siding. With ATCS installed along the Greeley Sub, the code line won't be around much longer. Kind of adds something to the shot, don't you think?

UP's track test car, EC-4, has been to down before and is usually under its own power. However, a broken transmission on the EC-4 meant that it got a free ride by a great looking ES44AC.

Right at milepost 35, UP's track test car EC-4 is headed south through the siding at Platteville. The car previously came north and was on the mainline, so it is now checking out the siding.

Looks good. Sounds better. UP's La Salle local is headed south on the main at Greeley as it crosses the 8th street grade crossing. The trio of EMD motors, three of which were SD40-2s, sounded fantastic.

It doesn't get much better than this. Spartan cab SD40-2 leading a southbound manifest on a fantastic, sunny March afternoon. This train would ultimately pull in to the yard at La Salle a few miles south and tie up for the day.
