UP and the Milwaukee - a photo on Flickriver

            A couple of UP SD40N locomotives led by #1624 glide past a former Milwaukee Road caboose on display in a small downtown park in Franklin Park, IL. To my right (out of frame) is the restored Tower B-12, which used to guard the intersection of the old Milwaukee Road and the Soo Line.

I believe the locomotives are symbol YCPPR, a daily transfer between Proviso and Bensenville, though today the locomotives are returning back to Proviso as light power.
