Threading the Needle
After Amtrak cleared the TPW diamond in Chenoa, M-EPEF toned up the UP dispatcher and was able to get the light across in short order. TPW 3440, 5014, 2105, and HESR 3485 are seen here navigating the flange bearing diamond over UP's Joliet Sub with a lengthy train. Up front, stretched as far as you can see, are 62 Incobrasa hoppers, 50 of which were setout at Gilman. Originally, the Peoria crew was to get this train to La Houge for an HL crew to continue east. However, they only made it at far as Chenoa which resulted in a nice chase over part of TPW's "west end".
