My mom insisted that we take her back to Wisconsin, so tuesday we left Tennessee early and after staying overnight in Peru, Illinois, we arrived at her home early Wednesday afternoon. In Altoona I found several old Soo Line boxcars on a Union Pacific train bound for South St. Paul, MN.

An SD40-2R was the second unit.
