Welcome to Rochelle
Title:  Welcome to Rochelle
Description:  You know you're in Rochelle when, as you're unloading your gear just after parking your car, the gates on the BNSF go down and you have to dash over to grab this shot from the shady side as two Warbonnets lead a short eastbound manifest through town. No time to set up the tripod for video, either!

Description:  Only the third Sheboygan coal train I've shot, first one outside of Wisconsin and ironically, the only one not powered by some combination of UP 6718 (patched C&NW), UP 6940 and UP 6032. The trailing unit is an SD70ACe, EMD products are uncommon on UP coal trains.

Title:  Couple of MACs lead an eastbound manifest
Description:  Earlier in the day, I missed getting photos (but got video) of a westbound unit autorack train with one 81XX SD9043MAC on the head end, and one 80XX one on the rear. The 80XX ones are getting scarcer as they are gradually renumbered into the 3400s to make room for some new GEVOs.
