UP 7835
Title:  UP 7835
Description:  According to the Virtual Rail camera chat we had another eastbound headed our way. We thought we could make it into Ashton before it showed. And we did, sort of. Just not on the correct side of the tracks. UP ZLTG2 screamed by at every bit of 70 MPH by the grain elevator in town.

UP 6706
Title:  UP 6706
Description:  With no spots that really spoke to us west of Franklin Grove, we decided to go back west of town. UP 1111 and the coal train were still parked on the east side of town. So, we thought about trying a meet shot between UP 6706 and UP 1111 there. But, after a little more waiting, and right as UP 6706 got close, CHIBV fired up and continued west, which had us scrambling back into Ashton. Thankfully, we made it into town just as the gates were beginning to activate in town, and we were able to grab UP MMTPR cruise east through town with the only active CNW patch unit on the roster. The heritage unit and the real heritage both leading on the same trip. Awesome!

UP 6706
Title:  UP 6706
Description:  Roster shot of UP 6706. The word on the street was this unit was planned to be in the next batch of AC44 rebuilds at Jenks in Little Rock. With that, this very well would be the final train it ever lead, which would made this catch all the more special.

UP 584
Title:  UP 584
Description:  A Geep trailed 3rd out on UP MMTPR. With that, it was time to begin heading toward Iowa. We werent sure if there was anything else on the UP, so we decided to follow BNSF, despite not much happening on the Aurora Sub either.
