GMTX 412 |
| Description: |
After NS 121 passed, we decided to call it a day in Logansport because Ethan had a pickup at Jims store, "The Train Exchange" in Kokomo so we decided to head that way. First though we tool a pit stop at Lincoln, IN to see GMTX 412. This is US Rails 2nd unit, but it hasnt run for nearly 2 years. They sure do keep it looking nice though. They have even added Christmas Lights to it for the Christmas Season! |

GMTX 412 |
| Description: |
Got up early the next morning to hit the road. Unfortunately for us, there happens to be a giant snow storm headed our way and is supposed to dump about 8 inches of snow on Indy. To avoid running into the heart of the storm, we have to cut north and then go west when we get up to US 24 in Logansport. We ate breakfast at the hotel which was very good, and by that point it had already started to snow. But by the time we got north of I465, there was barely any snow on the ground. I was going to take advantage of this detour to see a couple of trains, so first we cut over to US 35 in Kokomo and followed U.S. Rail north and first got some photos of GMTX 412 in Lincoln. This unit has been sitting here dead for about 2 years now, and they keep it in suprisingly good shape. Hopefully they get it moving again though soon! |

| Description: |
"Painfully slow" would be the only words to describe how the morning turned out train traffic wise. Both UP and BNSF were silent, and unfortunately the Burlington Junction was quiet as well. We had been getting pretty lucky catching them moving cars around are last few visits here. But today, no such luck. We still went down and grabbed the power sitting still. |

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. |

UP 4804 and UPY 705 |
| Description: |
The yard crew finishes building the MBEBE as the yard job sits off to the left with a pair of GP15s. Due to the light action on this line, UP stores a good amount of autoracks and TOFC flats out here, which come and go about once or twice a week. Tonights MBEBE appears to be taking some autoracks back to the city. There might be some sort of mixing center around here somewhere but neither of us are familiar enough with the location to know for sure. By this time, with no other action happening, we decided to head for the hotel and check in. There wasnt much time left in the day so instead of heading south on I39 to Rochelle, we decided to stick a little closer to town and see if CP would send anything at Davis Jct. Unfortunately, the nearest train that would have passed was clear out at Savanna, and it would have been well after dark before it showed up there. So, with that, we decided to call it a day. We picked up Chick-Fil-A across the street for supper and turned in for the night. Next morning, Janesville was on the agenda! |

| Description: |
After 60N, it was time to get down to Rochester to finally see Nick at work. They were heading downtown today to pick up some storage cars, a move that isnt made very often. So, we definitely wanted to make sure we saw that. We met up with two other railfans there and they accompanied us as be began our chase. The crew was at lunch when we arrived into Rochester. But, as soon as they got back, they immediately fired the engine up and went toward downtown to grab their cars. The train passes an old concrete grain elevator at 8th Street. |
