Dumping stone at Nachusa: A Union Pacific work train drops fresh ballast at Nachusa, Illinois. Three SD40-2s keep the train moving at a steady speed. The hopper doors open and shut by remote control to assure the proper application of rock; they'll close in a moment as the train passes the defect detector at milepost 95.
