Dresser Surprise
Title:  Dresser Surprise
Description:  Well I didn't expect to see this today! My original intent was to catch the WC coming into town when I saw an approach signal at Victoria. I got out of the car, set up for a shot and a few minutes later, I heard the distinct sound of a CP horn. I was very pleased to see such a neat lashup on such an overcast day. One should note that the leader and trailing unit are both former Milwaukee Road units.

Classic DM&E Scene
Title:  Classic DM&E Scene
Description:  DME 6200 comes through Utica with an empty 637 Ethanol Train in tow on some classic jointed rails, and CNW pink lady ballast. This was a fun chase in near perfect light, in darn near perfect condition. The 6200 and trailing ICE 6414 was the icing on the cake.

Dresser Turn with two ICE units
Title:  Dresser Turn with two ICE units
Description:  I just leaving Target off of Lexington Ave when I texted Mike where the Dresser Turn was at. I got a reply saying he was at Cardigan, so I knew I didn't have long. I drove over to where the an abandoned hotel was and took advantage of the storm lighting. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Next time there are matching blue and golds, I have to shoot them coming past Bethel University, only fitting since I graduated from there and blue and gold are the University's colors.
