Remarks & Notes 
After working industries further north, UP LSF54 is highballing it south back to Bloomington Yard. In the process it, it passes by the classic, Chicago & Alton depot in Dwight. Located just over 70 miles south of Chicago, the depot was built in 1891 and serviced passengers from that point until 1971, and again from 1986 until 2016. When Amtrak's new station opened a few blocks away in 2016, this depot became a museum and community center. The two usual GP60's have the short local well under control, with the classic Southern Pacific painted #1066 leading.
