T004 power runs light to collect two from DeLong         
Coming back from Rockford, I pulled off in Janesville to see what I could find. I was picking up a FRED beep on the scanner and checked out the UP yard first. No sign of any action there, so I headed north on Read Road and found this train already going over the crossing. I turned around and took Avalon Road to this location, expecting them to come flying through en route to Bardwell and points east. Instead they came to a stop and cut off the power to make a pickup here, which I have never known the road train to do. DeLong acquired this grain facility at Avalon from Gavilon in 2016. Their switcher, ex-BN SD40-2 7161, can be seen just to the right of the WSOR power.
