Coming Through! |
| Description: |
The UP local out of Belvidere typically makes the trek up and down Madison Street just two days a week to switch out a few cars at a couple of customers in Loves Park. A portion of this ex-C&NW line, including this street running, is also used by a trolley car operated by the Rockford Park District. Its schedule is arranged so as to eliminate any possibility of conflict with a UP freight movement on this dark territory. |

Almost Home |
| Description: |
...at least I think so. The Belvidere yard is just on the other side of the Irene Road crossing, and I lost the train in there. Not sure if they were done for the day after arriving there; or if they had more work to do around town, perhaps switching the big auto plant, or if that is handled by other jobs. I never heard a peep out of this train on the scanner, so I must not have had the right one of UP's multitude of frequencies activated. |
