The ex-SSW 9644 follows the train across Colley Road |
| Description: |
This locomotive has been eluding me since I was living in Milwaukee 10-12 years ago and it was UP 1943. Note the incandescent crossing signal lights, themselves a rarity nowadays. |

UP 1158 keeps a leisurely pace back toward the yard |
| Description: |
Not sure why the speeds were reduced as the track still appears to be in good condition (and the ABS signals were recently upgraded, replacing the searchlights that C&NW had installed after scavenging them from an ex-CGW line that was being abandoned), but in years past you had to drive like a bat out of hell just to barely get a grab shot of a train entering the yard if you also shot it leaving Clinton. No longer. |
