With an H1 SD40-2 and an H4 SD60M for power, R CHI476 heads west through Hinckley with tonnage for Rochelle and Oregon (Illinois, that is). This set of power has been ping ponging back and forth on the Aurora Sub for the past few months. With no meets in its future, this guy was booking! 03-05-2021

Thanks for including the grain elevator. I don't know how many times I have gone through that town on US-30 and I never noticed that a wood elevator is still standing. I don't go that way anymore, but that elevator is worth a field trip.
