Grindin' on the River |

RG 311 grinds westward on the CP River Sub as it comes up to Weaver, MN. While it was cool to catch a grinder in action, it was also a little bittersweet. |

Late Running 270 |
| Description: |
Thanks to a broken rail, I was able to catch up to 270 at Maple Springs after sleeping in a little bit. The train had a very bad time on the River Sub. I shot this around 10:45, yet it didn't make it down to Winona until about 3 in the afternoon. |

Over the river and through the woods, the Nitrin Job goes |

The Nitron Job keeps up it blistering pace of 10 mph as it heads down the line and crosses a steel bridge that is almost hidden in the trees. Such a neat job with really neat power. Sad to think that these former Soo GP9s have very little time left on the CP... |

It was like any other day, I got up, checked ATCS and saw that L517 was lined into town. After dropping my brother off at college, and ran over to Cardigan hoping to see what L517 had. I figured it would have an IC leading bsaed off of the previous days power. However I was very happily surprised to see not one, two, but THREE IC SD70s leading into town! :D |

Perfect Timing!! |
| Description: |
Train 632 roars down the main as it passes through the small town of Dakota, MN with a trio of ICE SD40-2s. Thankfully the sun popped out for literally seconds, giving us the light we had been wanting all day. Just seconds before the train rolled through, people were walking along the main and ignored our shouts warnings to them of an oncoming train. |

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! |

End of the Line |
| Description: |
Today, the Commercial made a special trip down the Hiawatha Line to bring 25 cars into storage. Here we see the 2002 at what is literally the end of the line these days. Even though it was pouring rain, me and some other railfans were out shooting this very rare and neat move. Picture was taken just south of 45th St E and Hiawatha Ave. |

Extra Rider |
| Description: |
Well, this was unexpected! The Hauler stopped right here because of an extra rider two cars back. If you look closely, you can see a little kid hanging on the side of an auto rack right above of the conductors head. |

Rangers |
| Description: |
The Ford Hauler heads to the Ranger Plant with parts to make the last of the Ranger line as a Ford Ranger Crosses over on W. 7th St just before the gates went off. I was hoping to get a Ranger and Ford Hauler together in one shot. :-). |

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. |
