Viewing Album:  Rochelle & Galesburg 2007 pics
 
By:Joe Benedict
Dates:9/12/2007 - 9/16/2007
Album Info:While traveling on business to the midwest, I always took a couple of extra days to railfan the UP in search of the last two original C&NW widecabs. I would not be let down on each occasion with the last being in 2007. Usually, I would catch them leading trains heading east and west out of Proviso on each day that I visited. The best place to catch a lot of UP & BNSF action with limited time was in Rochelle. The pictures in this album outline my last trip to Rochelle in 2007 with a wide variety of motive power and paint schemes for you to enjoy. Thanks for viewing!
