Well today we wanted to chase a coal train and the only one that comes thru Waukesha is the UPGBC train bound for Green Bay....Well seeing that we were at a friends house in Burlington and it was a nice hot day and his house is right behind the main line we were out back swimming and taking pix and we heard a horn coming...We waitied for it to make its way thru town and sure enuff...Here comes a coal train which by all means was the UPGBC
So we all piled into the Hummer (yeah I know that the gas is high but it was roomy to take and we wanted to drive in style) again to go and chase this train...We caught it doing a crew change in Burlington and what to our surprise was a fire going on in the back
We figured that the train was going to be there for a while so we went over by the fire to see that they were just about done putting it out so we snaped a pic and went back to the yard
Back at the yard we parked the Hummer by the yard office and took a shot of the Burlington servicing area
Another shot of the area with a switcher in the back waiting for its orders
Last shot of the area with some WC road power waiting for a crew
With the new crew on the UPGBC the train was ready to depart...We then hurried over to Vernon Marsh where we set up and right when he went past 2 flocks of geese flew over the marsh
Another shot of him passing the siding at Vernon Marsh
UPGBC is seen here passing a farmer in his field spraying his corn
Coming into Waukesha he passes a flag man guarding some workers near the tracks
