It's 5:55pm on a warm July day as the normal BN westbound evening hotshot approaches East Dubuque, IL on main 1. The train has a brand new rebuild SP on the point tonight. SP units didnt look like this very long! This train, 14 years later, is still a normal westbound evening hotshot for the BNSF. You will still hear the old symbols used by the C & I dispatchers east of Savanna, IL today.
