Coming into Memorial Siding
Title:  Coming into Memorial Siding
Description:  The first moving train of the day for us was a 627 that had two blue and yellow units for power, both being ICE units too. You might think this shot needs to be rotated, thats not the case. The rails in the siding are causing the power to tilt to the side a bit.

Snaking down the line
Title:  Snaking down the line
Description:  CP 470 rounds the many S curves as it descends down towards Marquette after rolling through Postville, IA. I love how the train kind of disappears behind the hills as it snakes its way down the line. This shot was well worth the bad roads down there!
