Sorry for the poor quality. First time in a very long time I've seen two trains on the line at once, and the iPhone didn't zoom well

UPY 701 and 639 were switching the yard in Belvidere tonight. I stopped by for a few shots, got what I could. Taken from my footage, so its not the greatest.

UP Northbound at Ina, IL
On the left, the crew of MSSPR readies the train for departure.
This yard job engineer was friendly and gave me a few waves as he went back and forth.
The yard job needs to back up to give MSSPR's power enough room to access the crossover switch.
Like the DPU on the coal train I saw earlier in the day, Y639 looks like it must have been repainted quite recently. A nice change of pace from crusty, grimy locomotives, especially on the CP!
Oh how I love GP15s, and this guy has found its way up to the Belt Yard.
This is a former CGW CNW yard. The GP15 is a former CNW unit.
A trio of UP SD70Ms including UP #2002, one of the Salt Lake City SD70Ms leads a westbound freight out of Belt Yard while a UPY GP15 - 1 and a UP GP38 - 2 sit on a outside track
Not sure if this is a GP-15 or not.
A northbound manifest meets UP Train MASNLX 01 at South Ives.
The moon had already risen and CNW 8701 is passing through Dudley as I tried to recreate scene more reminiscent of the CNW, way down here in SEMO, with the Riceland Foods Grain Elevator and Siding.<P>I figured I'd post a couple of the other remaining CNW unit, since its sister, 8646 has been hanging around my general area for a while now.
Here we see 1 of the Last 2 CNW's heading UP Train MASNLX 01 through MO Jct. on this fine evening after a day of severe weather.
