One of the most interesting and one of the few last catches on the UP Adams Sub this year and it was definitely one of the coolest all year long. After almost not making it and having to use my iPhone because my main camera was low on storage we were able to capture this very interesting UP MCHAL that blasted its way off from Butler with no much work and it was a pretty short train with only 35 cars. This train also had three UP SD70Ms with the last one being vandalized with graffiti most likely spent majority time in California. I haven't seen this many SD70Ms on a UP train for whle and with most units now getting stored and slowly scrapped these iconic UP locomotives are slowly starting to fade out so you gotta catch these while you can. But what really stood out on this train was a RSSX GP9 that was being sent somewhere. You really don't see this kind of train everyday especially out in the middle of nowhere in South Beaver Dam, WI.
