Classic EMD power
Title:  Classic EMD power
Description:  Going away shot of 636s power at Dodge Center. The DM&E is one of the few railroads left in the US that you can still see lashups like this on a daily basis. Of special interest is the last unit, it used to be Soo 6411 back in the day.

EMD Roar
Title:  EMD Roar
Description:  With a speed limit of 30 mph on the jointed rail and a steep grade too, train 636 was giving it all it had to make maybe 20 mph as it roared up to Eyota. After I took this shot, I wished I had taken video to capture the sound. Sharp eyes will see that the right side of the shot is distorted, I believe the image sensor has a screwed up some how.
