Union Pacific Powerton Coal Empties 7-23-24

When I drove by Adams Street Yard after work Tuesday afternoon, I found it empty. Based on recent encounters, I quickly headed to W. Farmington Road where the northbound signal displayed green. So I hoped MPECL was hiding behind the thick woods around Peoria Junction.
 
Turns out, a train of Powerton coal empties rolled by shortly. I still hoped MPECL was waiting for that train's passage, so I lingered in the area for awhile. But not MPECL. At least I got something for my time and effort. 


CAPTION: A northbound Union Pacific train of Powerton coal empties rolls by W. Farmington Road mid-afternoon Tuesday, July 23, 2024. UP 8424 and UP 8207 were on the point; UP 5479 is DPU.
