On the Austin Line
Title:  On the Austin Line
Description:  In order for 636 and 276 to come through town, the local had to shove down the Austin Line. Here we see the 6097 in the clear as it waits for the two road trains to come by.

Blue and Yellows Roaring by
Title:  Blue and Yellows Roaring by
Description:  Four blue and yellow DM&E and IC&E units roar over the flooded Crow River in Rockford as they lead an awesome looking 171 west towards Glenwood. The lead unit is the DME 6052 followed by DME 6097, ICE 6416, and ICE 6403. I never thought I would ever see something like this on the Paynesville Sub. Kudos to Todd R for showing me this spot.

Going into Run 8
Title:  Going into Run 8
Description:  CP 170 continues to impress railfans as seen here with a matching four pack of blue and yellow units. The train was supposed to have a meet here at Dickenson, but they got the light to South Haven at the last minute which resulted in hearing all four units roaring up in notch 8. The picture doesn't do justice as to how awesome it was to hear and see.
