On a cold Monday afternoon in Elva after a weekend blizzard which left over a foot of snow, the Monday - Friday local that runs on the UP Troy Grove Subdivision busts through one of many snow drifts on the Troy Grove Subdivision. About 10 miles to the south in Shabbona Grove, the train would head through a cut in the land where there was 7 feet of snow that the train would plow through, and then the conductors side door eventually became frozen shut afterwards. UP GP60 1038 leads the way up front, which has been assigned to the Troy Grove local since November 2020, and a UP GE shoves the rear of the train at the back.
