Roaring by
Title:  Roaring by
Description:  After getting 171 at Crystal I headed out along the line and just barely got a head of it a Buffalo. Here we see 171 flying by the crossing at track speed. I made good use of the 18mm lens in this shot!

CP 171
Title:  CP 171
Description:  A great looking 171 roars past the diamonds at Crystal, MN on a sunny July day. With work going how it is, this might be the last 171 I catch west of Saint Paul, ever. Once the track work is done at Saint Paul yard, there will be no need to run these all the way up to Glenwood any more

One "Cool" Lashup
Title:  One "Cool" Lashup
Description:  What makes this lashup so cool? The ICE leader! Puns aside, it was great to see 171 coming in on the West Running with two SD40-2s trailing.

CP 271
Title:  CP 271
Description:  CP 271 comes through Saint Paul Park with a four pack of blue and yellow SD40-2s for power in perfect light. To make it even better, the units were front-back-front-back as well. Big thanks goes to Josh Dulak for the heads up on this one!
