UPY 722
Title:  UPY 722
Description:  After the coal train went by, BNSF got very quiet. We heard the Mainline dispatch give permission to the UP Troy Grove local to cross at Earlivlle earlier today but AMTK 3 was coming when it crossed so we decided to risk fate and follow the line down to Troy Grove to see if it was still there. Thankfully it was!
