Last Photo in Rochelle
Title:  Last Photo in Rochelle
Description:  This is one of my last photos in Rochelle, this is UP ES44AC #7907 pushing the rear of UP 7616 West as they go into Globe III, this trip was fun and exciting, Day 3's total comes to 26 trains and in the three days there we got 89 trains, I was wanting over 100, but oh well, we saw some neat consists, surprises and the best unit I have ever seen. Thanks Rochelle for all of them, I want to go back there someday, but it was time to go back home in Minnesota
