UP train MNLAS 20 with 11 engines charges north at Dupo, IL on 6-21-2007. Thanks goes to the conductor for waking me up that morning and letting me know this was coming. I was about to strangle him through the phone at first, but his reason for calling was good. The 11 engines were quite a mix of power and roads. The open wire here is still in service, just a short 1.5 mile stretch through Dupo. [id=187022111] for a side on shot of the 11 engines.
