Empty grain train for DeLong rounds the Oak Grove Rd. curve |
| Description: |
Thanks to a timely heads up on the Facebook group, I got here just in the nick of time to catch this. This is on a short (3-ish mile) stub of the former Kenosha-Rockford "KD Line," this portion of which also served to connect Harvard with South Beloit until sometime in the 1980s. Now its only reason for existence is to serve the DeLong (formerly Seegers Grain) elevator on the west edge of Chemung. The train will stop here and the UP power will go in the hole on the stub track to the right. DeLong's SW7 will then dart in and grab the empties. |

Swinging Down |
| Description: |
Once the train comes to a stop, the conductor will uncouple the power, then it will pull ahead and he will line the switch so it can go in the hole on the stub track to the right. |

UP 2613 |
| Description: |
The UP power pulls partway across Oak Grove Road to clear the switch so it can reverse into the stub track and clear the way for DeLong Co. 202 to come get the grain MTs. I used HDR in Photoshop CC 2021 to add some life to the colors in this and several of the next few photos taken on this overcast day. |
