UP 1169 |
Description: |
Two UP Geeps get a local up to track speed north of Lenox tower near Granite City. Lenox tower was in the process of being torn down, so this line had a slow order thru the interlocking. The old Geeps made quite the sound as they got this train up to speed. |

UP 1989 |
Description: |
Needing no introduction, the Rio Grande Heritage unit leads a 2-mile stacker towards Chicago on a Z train. I waited for an hour for this in Alton, but it came by when I stopped for a lunch break (of course). Chased it all the way up to Shipman, where he finally had a yellow. |

Crape Myrtle |
Description: |
A crape myrtle makes a great contrast to the Big Boy as it rolls north. It has just crossed the river at Cape Girardeau, and is heading north towards St. Louis. This is the second time in the day where I caught 4014, and I'd catch it four more times today. |

UP 4014 - Salt Lick Point |
Description: |
Whew. After abandoning the chase of 4014 at Chester, I ran ahead to Valmeyer. I'd scoped out a spot on the ridge at Salt Lick Point (if you're in the area, check it out!), and had climbed to the top in record time. It was about 95° F that day, and about 80% humidity. I spent the hour waiting for the Big Boy trying to keep hydrated; I'd hate to have been in the cab for this. |
