Union Pacific train MPRIT is seen from the 76th Street overpass in West Allis, Wisconsin. I had tried getting a photo of this train around Kenosha, but kept missing it while looking for a good spot. Rather than try to catch up to it around Racine, I hopped on the freeway and headed north -- and was surprised to beat the train to this location with only about a minute to spare. A former C&NW SD40-2 leads. That nose-mounted bell sounded great!
