Occasionally, a UP unit makes it onto the Chilli as UP 5460 heads an eastbound through McCook. BNSF7755 West knocks down the intermediate signal just outside of Corwith.

       

 BNSF 7744, on it's maiden run, racing towards Corwith Yard.  On a different day two ES44s meet under the signal bridge at GI Interlocking plant. BNSF 7744 is heading west with an empty coal train for the Powder River Basin and UP 5460 has a hot intermodal train in tow.
