Description: |
Even with the lengthy string of grain loads, the six units had pretty easy work at 10 MPH. |

There are four tracks that stub-end within the Evonik property, one of which is the old main (former C&NW line to Beloit) and two of which are spurs into the plant itself. |

Approaching Colley Road |
Description: |
Easternmost of two crossings on this road, both are ex-MILW rails. The western one is used by CP's local which runs up to Janesville, and UP also has trackage rights to serve Fairbanks-Morse (which I have yet to see them do). |

Crossing Gateway Boulevard, back on "home" rails |
Description: |
Porters is shown on the map as an unincorporated community that abuts the east edge of Beloit. UP owns the track here having just come off CP trackage rights, an arrangement dating back to when C&NW purchased a portion of this line from the Milwaukee Road. |

Rolling toward SR 140 and the end of the ex-Milwaukee Road spur |
Description: |
Just picked up three MT gons from Scot Forge. Continuing northeast, the ex-Milwaukee Road Racine & Southwestern Division is abandoned between the crossing of the ex-C&NW Harvard Sub here at Clinton, and the crossing with the ex-MILW Janesville-Chicago line at Bardwell (Allen's Grove). From there, another remaining segment serves as WSOR's Elkhorn branch. |

Leading From Behind |
Description: |
A crew still occupied the cab of 1166, and its ditch lights were left on, as it trailed the move from Clinton to Janesville. Although it no longer wears the paint scheme as 1158 on the other end of the train still does, it too is an ex-St. Louis Southwestern (Cotton Belt) GP60. It was built as the SSW 9673 which, coincidentally, is pictured on the Wikipedia articles for the SSW Railway and for the GP60 itself. |

One last look at the pair of 3,800 HP cabooses |
Description: |
The GP60s were built for fast, long-haul running with their high horsepower to axle ratio. It's kind of sad to see them relegated to 10 MPH branchline local service, but at least they'll get to stretch their wheels a little bit on the LJA50 run from here to Proviso and back. |
