Grindin' on the River |
Description: |
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 dittersweet. |

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 |
Description: |
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... |

Description: |
It was cike 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. |

Four blue and yellow DME/ICE units coast down grade at Westminster on main track two as they head towards Saint Paul Yard. This was an awesome sight. |

Saint Paul Turn |
Description: |
The 6341 and five other units come up to Saint Louis Park with only minutes of sunlight left before the day is done. What a leader to see in 2011! |

C40-8 in the lead |
Description: |
L517 comes across Lexington Ave with a "new" C40-8 leading the way. The 2115 is in a special scheme to celebrate CNs 15th anniversary of being privatized. Power like this keeps things interesting for me, its better then the usual 57XX, or 2/3XX series. |

Kicking snow up |
Description: |
L517 roars through the town of Somerset as it heads towards the Twin Cities. This line only see's two trains a day, so you better know when the trains are running before you head out! |

Rounding the Bend |
Description: |
While I was killing time before class, my brother let me borrow his laptop so I could check the ATCS to see if the Withrow Sub was lined yet for L517. Sure enough, there was a route, and based on where it was, I had little time to get it. After heading over to Lexington Ave, I climbed up a snow drift where I fired off this shot of L517 coming around the curve with CN 2302 leading the way. |

Oh Yeah! |
Description: |
Here's a shot I got of L506 roaring down to Northtown with a neat looking lead unit! These 21XX series are freshly rebuilt and repainted, and used to be owned by the UP. They have a new lease on life thanks to the CN. I LOVE how this shot turned out as well! While I like how they look on the outside, I bet those cabs are pretty small! |
