Some business in Fountain City today afforded me the chance to check in on the St. Croix Sub. I knew there was an eastbounder parked at Mears waiting on a turn to cross the Chippewa River so I set up at Nelson. In the meantime this Z-train came roaring up the westbound track. The atmosphere and dust helped add some drama to what I thought was going to be a throw away shot. October 27, 2012.

Outbound BNSF Line express service arrives at its western terminus at the Aurora Transportation Center behind METX 185, an EMD F40PHM-3. Navigating the double-track approach into the terminal shortly after 1:30 p.m., the train lays over briefly before returning east to Chicago Union Station on an afternoon inbound assignment.
The third unit looked great and so too would have the lashup reversed. Despite that it's nice to see a warbonnet and an SD60M hard at work with nearly all their original markings intact. We finally had the light and the train in our favor. After this it was back to Marquette as the ICE headed west, we'd be gone much of the day, but we'd be back...
