Waiting Patiently |
| Description: |
DeLong's SW7 (formerly the sole power rostered under the name Chicago-Chemung Railroad, when it and the line were both owned by Seegers Grain) has been shuttling grain hoppers back and forth on this short section of ex-C&NW trackage for quite a few years now. Built in 1950 for C&O, it still carries the paint and number applied by the Chicago, Madison & Northern in the early '80s. |

UP 2613 |
| Description: |
The UP power pulls partway across Oak Grove Road to clear the switch so it can reverse into the stub track and clear the way for DeLong Co. 202 to come get the grain MTs. I used HDR in Photoshop CC 2021 to add some life to the colors in this and several of the next few photos taken on this overcast day. |

DeLong's SW7 moves in to take over |
| Description: |
The emergency contact number blue tags on the crossing posts still say "Chicago-Chemung Railroad Corp." The reporting mark for this Seegers Grain-owned outfit was CCUO, but the engine is now lettered TDCX presumably for "The DeLong Company," which is also emblazoned on the backs of the high-vis vests worn by the crew. |

| Description: |
Besides the crew operating the engine, DeLong had flaggers stationed at each of the three crossings they would run over between here and the elevator. |

The Long Arm of The DeLong Company |
| Description: |
They've seemingly taken over the vast majority of grain elevators in the State Line region in recent years, including this one (formerly Seegers) at Chemung, IL; the former Gavilon (Avalon, WI), and the former Demeter (South Beloit, IL). |

Pint-Sized Powerhouse |
| Description: |
With the bell tolling merrily but the 12-cylinder 567 growling, the 71-year-old, 1,200 horsepower switcher moves the entire empty grain train that was just brought in by two 4K+ HP UP road units. Granted, it couldn't do this with the loads, but still an impressive performance. |
