Doing Track Speed
Title:  Doing Track Speed
Description:  After catching L516 at White Bear Lake, I decided to make a go for the High Bridge at Somerset. Traffic wasn't on my side for that, so I headed over to New Richmond to capture this shot. I'm sure happy I got this shot here as the two GEs came by at track speed.

Daylight Apperance
Title:  Daylight Apperance
Description:  Train L516 heads through White Bear Lake with two big GEs for power. This train was running about 12 hours behind its usual time due to a derailment in Stevens Point, thus making a rare daylight apperance.

WC Transfer Part Two
Title:  WC Transfer Part Two
Description:  Again, thanks to my college schedule this shot was able to happen. I had just got out of class at 1:40 when I heard a horn, and a very short time later I saw L517 blasting by Bethel. It turned out this was second WC Transfer of the day, I believe the crews of 516/517 swapped trains at Somerset which allowed this to happen.
