Interesting, every shot I have seen of the Fox Valley units are the high headlight version.  I'll have to get one of those to convert to a SD70M-2.  I agree that the Fox Valley locomotives are very nice.  I'm not sure they run better than Kato, but it is close enough to go either way.  I prefer the FV handling of the cab windows.

Thanks for the offer.  I will need photos of the abandoned passenger station just west of the Mississippi River Bridge.  If it is still there.  Are they making any progress on the new bridge they have been planning for some time?

Yes, it's still here. I'll get pictures.
The UP recently bought it from the private owner citing they needed the property for the bridge. It will be sad if they tear it down.
It's housed several businesses since the C&NW. A consignment shop, picture framing business, art gallery, pool and fence business and most recently a church.
Other than aquiring property and razing some area buildings there's no evidence of the new bridge project getting underway.
