ICE on the Dresser |
| Description: |
ICE 6100 leads today's Dresser Turn as it comes into New Brighton with about 20 cars or rock for the impending spring flooding. ICE power sure does ad some nice color to the area. Trailing is DME 6087, a former QNS&L SD40. |

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. |
