I wanted to rest but BNSF said no.
After three tiring days chasing UP 4014 on the eastbound run of the Coast To Coast Tour, I figured today would be a chill day before I head back to work on Sunday, BNSF had other plans for me as I learned that today's CHIGAL would be lead by an ABA set of former Santa Fe units with BNSF 1755 on the point. Realizing this, I made my way to Mazon to get them by the old grain elevator as I had heard rumors about the tower coming down in the fall. What I didn't expect was to get them meeting an EB hotshot right as they rounded the bend into the town, I'm not complaining though. That's what the chilli was made for. Enjoy!
