SP Patch GP40-2 Tows ex-WSOR 2054 Out of Town 11/28/2007

Description:
The UP Janesville local has some interesting power and interchange traffic today. Patched Southern Pacific GP40-2 UP 1421 leads, followed by UP 1362 and 1360. Dead-in-tow behind the UP power is ex-Wisconsin & Southern SD20 2054, now relettered BEBX and destined for Cargill in Fairmont, Minnesota. We see that train cross Delavan Drive and pass under Highway 51 with the usual ex-C&NW bay window caboose bringing up the rear. After that we see a little switching action from both railroads around town, first UPY MP15DCs 1320 and 1318, then WSOR 4050 switching at Five Points. Video by my dad.
