Run around |
| Description: |
Two red and white Soo GP38-2s make a run around move after getting to the Ford Ranger Plant so they can shove the Ranger frames into the yard. It doesn't get much better then this, a good looking Soo GP38-2, good light, and a job that will be history in a few months. |

Gettin' some McDonalds |
| Description: |
The crew on the Hauler has stopped just short of Madison Ave to get some lunch at McDonalds. This gave us a few minutes to get some creative shots of the Hauler. Check out the old Milw switch stand. |

A day after the plant closed down, the Hauler still has lots of work to do. There is probably close to 500 or so Rangers that need to be shipped out of the Twin Cities Assembly Plant. The Hauler will still run for at least a few more days. |

I pity you... |
| Description: |
I honestly feel bad for the conductor on this days Ford Hauler. He feels that by sticking a broom out of the cab and 'trying' to ruin a shot, that it will give him sort of good feeling. If anything, it makes the shot more interesting to me! Human element. :D Jokes on you buddy! In other news, a massive Hauler comes up towards the plant with a single GT boxcar and a long train of empty racks. The plan shut down the day before, but there are hundreds of Rangers to still be shipped out. 12-17-2011 |
