    I have to weigh in on this one. SP9721 was one of the first two GP60's on our rock trains in Kenosha, Wi. after UP took over CNW. It was paired up with UP2022. I'm glad to see that 9721 still looks good, and still escaped the re-numbering. It was also the FIRST SP unit assigned to Kenosha...

    You know, I may have to check my Joliet video. I may have been there on the same day as you. This train looks awefully familliar. It was the only time I had been to Joliet, and saw two DRGW GP40's on the EJ&E run. I have to see if the two DRGW's on my video are the same numbers!!!! If so, I...

    I caught this caboose on a short transfer train in Franklin Park just before it was given to IRM. I was all to happy to catch this on film, because I lived by the Milw all my life, and the day I caught it, was the FIRST time I've seen a Milw wide-vision caboose!!! They only had 2. It was only...
