Under the Missabe
Title:  Under the Missabe
Description:  The excursion train makes its way along the mainline as it gets ready to duck under the former DM&IR mainline. This is an excellent vantage point to shoot a train from. Only problem is that the only traffic on the line is really just museum trains.
