Dresser Turn With Four EMDs |
Description: |
While in class today I got a text about a Dresser Turn with some good power on it. Much to my delight it had two ICE units, a CITX lease unit and finally a CP SD40-2. You rarely see a lashup like this anymore, so I jumped on the opportunity to shoot this train. We see the train as it starts to throttle up grade at Country Road F in Shoreview, MN. The lead unit is former UP, followed by an ex CNW unit, the CITX is a former SP SD39, followed by a true CP SD40-2. PIcture taken from HD video. |

Minutes later, a train came around the corner, and I then got this shot. Right after I took this, I saw that the engineer was none other then Dean! |

Thanks to a tip from Josh, I was able to catch this awesome looking CP 171 as it came through University. When I first heard about the power on this train, I thought I wouldn't be able to shoot it since it was raining. However, the sky cleared up and the sun came out, and I was lucky enough to get this shot! |

Title: |
ICE 6442 |
Description: |
A loaded Dresser Turn comes back while the rain relentlessly comes down with no end in sight. This is one of the few Dresser's I've caught coming down the Saint Paul sub, rather then the Withrow Sub. |

Rolling Under Rice St. |
Description: |
CP 170 rolls under Rice Street at about 9:00 PM with a great leader and lashup as the sun starts to fade away. You always seem to loose light when good stuff like this runs! |
