Four 38s in Run 8
Title:  Four 38s in Run 8
Description:  The Saint Paul Transfer is down to about six mph in run 8 and is just making the hill with all four GP38-2s struggling to keep the train moving. The conductor, TJ, is looking out to see if he can see the tail end of his train as it wraps around the curve. This shot was taken at about 7:15, so it really brought out the color and contrast, making everything stand out!
