UP 1360 South at Signal 716, near Sharon, Wis.
Once a predictable morning job that ran into sweet morning light, Union Pacific Train LPS15 (Local, Janesville, Wis.–Crystal Lake, Ill., and return) is now a nocturnal affair, although still the sort of operation by one could set one's watch. During the long days of summer, the fading rays of light nicely silhouette the train against a watercolor sky.
Searchlight signaling, functioning code line, and the soothing whine of EMD prime movers overtaking chirping crickets. Doesn't get much better than that.
