Description: |
Naturally, after the MNPCH, UP died off, and BNSF still had nothing close, so we decided to head down to the Burlington Junction to see if they were doing anything. No such luck. |

BJRY 572 |
Description: |
We went back to sit at the park. Still nothing from either railroad. But, after a while, we did hear some talking on the scanner. Not from UP or BNSF, rather the Burlington Junction. Sure enough, the GP15 had been fired up and had a decent cut of cars in tow. And, not too long after, the train began to move toward the BNSF interchange. |

Description: |
Along with the Burlington Junction working Americold, BNSF R-CHI476-31 came down to the interchange point as well. Despite not having normal standard cab local power, the train was featuring a Fakebonnet this week, which, even if its not normal local power, is still better than the trailing GEVO behind it. |

UP 1417 |
Description: |
Despite the UP being slow, it was about to get busy, and busy with some very special trains in the mix as well. We thought catching UP 1995 leading yesterday was a solid catch, but a lot of things were about to be added on top of that. UP 1111 was leading a westbound coal drag, a brand new VIA set from Siemens was coming east, and UP 6706, the last active CNW patch unit, was leading a westbound manifest. Since a broad shot would be our best bet for a shot of UP 1111, we decided to head back up to the overpass east of Flagg. Our first train was not UP 1111, however. UP LPG04 came east by the elevator with a solo geep and a very friendly engineer who gave us a pretty good hornshow. |

UP 7839 |
Description: |
Then, soon after the local, UP 7839 led SLFCH, the brand new VIA set, under us at Flagg. I believe VIA has ordered 20-25 of these brand new trainsets that are planned to begin operating sometime this year or the beginning of next. They are interchanged with the CN in Chicago, and taken up to Toronto from there. Dad and I caught one by accident after the Nappanee Train Show back in April. Didnt think wed get a chance to see another one! |

UP 7835 |
Description: |
According to the Virtual Rail camera chat we had another eastbound headed our way. We thought we could make it into Ashton before it showed. And we did, sort of. Just not on the correct side of the tracks. UP ZLTG2 screamed by at every bit of 70 MPH by the grain elevator in town. |

NS 4254 |
Description: |
UP 6706 had already passed Nelson, so we knew we had to stay east of Dixon if we wanted to shoot it. We decided to move into Franklin Grove to see if we could catch UP 1111 again, but it ended up stopping east of town. We moved to the east side of town to find some nice open crossings, but there was nothing that either of us were too interested in. UP MNPPR was in front of MMTPR which had UP 6706 leading, so we set up for MMPPR at the intermediates just west of Franklin Grove. NS engines were up front, in the middle, and on the rear of this massive manifest as it slowly bobbed through the small rolling hills on the Geneva Subdivision. |

UP 6706 |
Description: |
With no spots that really spoke to us west of Franklin Grove, we decided to go back west of town. UP 1111 and the coal train were still parked on the east side of town. So, we thought about trying a meet shot between UP 6706 and UP 1111 there. But, after a little more waiting, and right as UP 6706 got close, CHIBV fired up and continued west, which had us scrambling back into Ashton. Thankfully, we made it into town just as the gates were beginning to activate in town, and we were able to grab UP MMTPR cruise east through town with the only active CNW patch unit on the roster. The heritage unit and the real heritage both leading on the same trip. Awesome! |

Roster shot of UP 6706. The word on the street was this unit was planned to be in the next batch of AC44 rebuilds at Jenks in Little Rock. With that, this very well would be the final train it ever lead, which would made this catch all the more special. |

Description: |
While we were along the UP, BNSF R-CHI476-31 made a trip up to Oregon, IL to work the sand pit. They were lined back east to Rochelle once we began heading up there, and with the Fakebonnet facing east, we decided it was well worth getting another shot of the train somewhere outside of Rochelle. We decided to set up shop by the grain elevators at Chana, and it wasnt a long wait before the train came rolling by us eastbound. Couldnt have had much better catches around the Rochelle area this morning! |

Description: |
Traffic on the Aurora Sub was painfully slow today, which gave us enough time to sit down and eat at Dairy Queen in Oregon for lunch. After lunch, we continued on our way northwest toward Savanna. Finally, by the time we reached Milledgeville, we had a train coming at us. BNSF H-NTWBRC1-30 roars east through Milledgeville by the water tower and grain elevator with a SD70ACe leader. They would meet a westbound Z train in the siding west of here. |

CP K68 reverses back into the Savanna Yard as BNSF Z-CHCPTL3-31 sits at the diamond. We still arent sure why they allowed the CP local to run in front of a BNSF Z Train, but they did. Unfortunately for us, we couldnt sit and wait on the BNSF train to come north, as we still had an almost hour drive to Dubuque and were running out of time to pick up the rental car from Enterprise for tomorrow. So, with that, this is all we managed to get of the Z Train. But, this is a pretty neat shot nonetheless. |

Description: |
According to the CP Dispatch, there was a short time ethanol train that was coming off the Chicago Side that would be heading north on the Marquette Side soon, but we had run out of time to wait on anything. So, from Savanna it was straight into Dubuque. After we got the rental car, we checked into the hotel, then decided to go eat supper at Applebees down the road. After supper, we still had a little more daylight to kill. Shockingly enough, the ethanol train had still not yet gone through, but it was nearing town, so we went into downtown to grab it. Sure enough, CP 547 was lined north across the CN diamond and rolled through town with a classic CPKC duo. |

BNSF 7385 |
Description: |
BNSF 7385 brings up the rear of the Z Train. And with that, the 3rd day of the trip had come to an end. Tomorrow I would stay behind and watch trains in Dubuque, while Dad would head to the show. Another pretty great day trackside! |

BNSF 6019 |
Description: |
The first three days were perfect weather, which is why it only made sense that we had to have at least one day where it was pouring down rain. We both got up early and went our separate ways. With the CP/KCS merger now a done deal, it was my goal to try to get several KCS leaders today. However, it was evident BNSF was going to send the most traffic through first, so it was off to the east side of the river. BNSF Z-CHCSSE8-01 begins my day in the pouring down rain at E. Dubuque. |

BNSF 7372 |
Description: |
I noticed I had a grain train facing south that was tied down south of East Dubuque, so I moved south. I soon discovered it had a H1 leader. But unfortunately it wasnt close enough to the road to get a solid photo of it. I would just have to wait for it to get recrewed. I did, however, have another northbound coming, which I stuck around for. H-GALMIN1-31 slowly works north as the rain continues to fall. |

Description: |
Moving back into East Dubuque, BNSF U-GFMCHC5-28 heads south with a sole GEVO on the head end and a loaded ballast train in tow. We sure have seen a lot of unique trains this trip! |

IC 3101 and GTW 5854 |
Description: |
After the ballast train, BNSF slowed down, but CP was finally coming to life as a northbound CP 541 was approaching from the south. CN L586 was also waiting for permission across the river. IC and GTW repaints are in charge of the local for this visit. |

IC 3101 and KCS 4113 |
Description: |
CP 541 rolls into town with my first KCS leader of the day passing CN L586. It was raining so hard at this point it was almost impossible to keep rain drops out of the lens. |

CP 8945 |
Description: |
Trains move pretty slow through Dubuque and I knew there would be DPU on the rear of 541, so I decided to stay outside and wait. Finally, after getting a thorough soaking, CP 8945 passes me on the rear of the ethanol train. |
