| The museum was awesome! Lots of great old equipment to admire. We will definitely be making a visit back soon. With Janesville and the Wisconsin Southern on the brain for tomorrow, we would be staying the evening at the Hampton Inn on the east side of Rockford for the night. Rail action into Rockford is pretty sparse, only with UP, CP, and the IRM operating local moves in and out of the city on a fairly regular basis. Most of UPs traffic to the area comes off a nightly road train in and out of Belvidere, which just happened to be building for the outbound when we got into town. Tonights MBEBE is being built with the yard crew with a pair of SD70Ms. The MBEBE crew will come OD at 9 PM that evening to make its nightly journey to and from the city. |
