The reason I dragged myself out of bed this AM, the 3 CNW's slam west through College Avenue

My first in-person viewing of this heritage unit.

The sun rises over UP 1995 as the crew goes about making a set out at Altoona. Temps were well below zero with the windchill.

The C&NW Heritage Unit leads the M-EAPR eastbound through Geneva.

CNW and MP Heritage Units split the CNW signals at Cortland.

The CNW Heritage SD70ACe leads a mixed manifest bound for Eagle Grove, IA through downtown DeKalb.

The CNW Heritage SD70ACe ducks under the old CNW coal chute while the eastboud bird flys by on the other main.

The CNW Heritage SD70ACe heads east through DeKalb and past the former CNW depot on the left.

UP 1995 leads the Proviso manifest eastbound over the Mississippi River bridge.

UP SD70ACe 1995, the CNW heritage engine, leads MCBPR under the signal bridge at Elmhurst.

Racing back to the other side of Geneva, we were helped by 1995 being slowed by a train in front of him.

Rounds the curve coming into CP Norma.

Southbound on the CN through Gordon
