UP local trundles along the tree-lined ex-R&SW |
| Description: |
Running back to Janesvillle after switching DeLong in South Beloit. This is a small remaining segment of the ex-Milwaukee Road Racine & Southwestern Division and one of the few if not the only segments of UP trackage in Wisconsin that is not ex-Chicago & North Western. Other portions are operated by WSOR as their Bardwell-Elkhorn branch and by CN as an industrial spur at Burlington. CP abandoned their segment from Sturtevant to Kansasville a few years ago. |

(Not quite) dashing through the snow |
| Description: |
It's kind of sad to see the GP60s, built for speed with a quite high horsepower rating over four axles, relegated to branch line locals. |

Shoving into the Evonik complex |
| Description: |
The chemical plant has been here since 1957 under various names. It took them about an hour and 20 minutes of shuffling tank cars to set out two and pull one (the one closest to the power was the same coming in and going out). There are four stub tracks within the plant, one of which is the old main. |
