Over the Rock - a photo on Flickriver

Over the Rock

            So yes, I was one of the many goobs who flocked trackside between Bensenville and Middleton on November 15 to see the Iowa Pacific deadhead move of this year's Polar Express equipment. While there was plenty of foam to be found all along the line, this was one angle I had totally to myself, as SLRG 103 and 102 (with the 101 on the rear) creep into Janesville over the Rock River. A close look will reveal a gaggle of photographers on the opposite bank of the river getting the "low and wide" shot.

It's definitely not the same as the polished, matched passenger train sets of the WSOR of yesteryear, but a E9A and E9B (with another A at the end) running on a normally freight railroad in 2015 was still worth the trip to see in my book. Especially when the weather was about as perfect as you could imagine for mid November in Wisconsin.
