Rainbow Lashup |
| Description: |
After catching two west bounds (DME 6055 and ICE 6448) we went back over to Memorial Siding to get a meet shot. When we got there we saw this train tied down without a crew waiting to go. Quite the colorful lashup on this one! It was also nice to see a former QNSL unit still running as well. |

Strait 70s power |

Todays 171 is made of motive power that used to rule the rails back in the 70s. The 3067 is a former CNW SD40, the 6362 is former Milwaukee Road, and the 6090 is a former QNSL unit. Quite the heritage! |

On the way back to Owatonna and home, we ran into 276 making its way east towards Dodge Center. With literally no light left, we made a quick turn off of 14 and had enough time to get one final shot of the day. Here 276 rumbles on towards Claremont with a mixed freight and three EMDs for power (DME 6368 trails). |
