I live 20 minutes from Galt. Tried to get in for photos but security beat me there. Took out a bridge, so they'll bet rerouting for awhile. Hope it's on BNSF tracks, cause that will bring them 3 blocks from house. Good photo ops with town backdrop. GO CUBS and the ROCK lives forever in my upstairs.

Yes another WB is passing the cam. But Galt where another UPRR derailment is reported is between Omaha & Rochelle so the WBs passing may mean the track has also been reopened there. [:o)][:D]

I will say the UPRR side of the Rochelle cam is real quiet though. [:(]
