DME 6200
Title:  DME 6200
Description:  A class unit for the DME, the 6200! I saw this unit two weeks ago on 171 in Minneapolis, but I wasn't able to get a roster shot of it. However I made up for it today when I got a shot of it trailing on 487.

Rolling Landscape
Title:  Rolling Landscape
Description:  After leaving Eyota, we continued our hunt for the prized 487. We were just outside of Dover when we heard the unmistakable sound of an EMD 645 prime mover working up grade. We did a quick U turn and I was able to fire off this shot as the three SD40-2s roared up hill. The Waseca Sub has some excellent spots to shoot things from!

Roaring 487
Title:  Roaring 487
Description:  Train 487 continues its way to Waseca as its seen roaring through the small town of Kasson after catching it near Bryon. This shot was taken with my trusty Nikon Fe from 1978 using 200 speed film at 1/250th of a second.

Pushing through the Rain
Title:  Pushing through the Rain
Description:  After negotiating the traffic and heavy rain at Rochester, we set up for a shot just east of Byron, MN. The tracks here are at a slight grade, so the train was giving it all it had to get the 130 car freight up and over the hill.

DME 6200
Title:  DME 6200
Description:  Another roster shot of the 6200, but this time it was with the film camera! It was poring rain when this was taken, but you can't even tell that based off of this shot.

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.
