The bridge in picture 7 passes over another railroad line, WSOR's Horicon-Cambria branch. That also has some crossings in and near Randolph which may be photographed at a later date.

The short southbound UP freight crosses. The lead locomotive is a bit unusual...
The second unit is in standard UP paint.

 

UP 3042 is a Chicago & Northwestern "patch", still in C&NW paint with a UP logo and number. UP bought C&NW in 1995, and there are only about 40 C&NW locomotives that have not yet been repainted to UP colors.

 

All pictures were taken by my father on August 6, 2007, with his digital camcorder's 640x480 still mode, except for pictures 11-14 which are stills from the video.
