End of the day and an Extra Board |
Description: |
While this looks like another end of day shot, is has more meaning then that. This also marked the end of an extra board position at New Brighton, meaning that some guys who I have known for a while will now be sent up to Superior. Change like that sucks... |

Oh Yeah! |
Description: |
Here's a shot I got of L506 roaring down to Northtown with a neat looking lead unit! These 21XX series are freshly rebuilt and repainted, and used to be owned by the UP. They have a new lease on life thanks to the CN. I LOVE how this shot turned out as well! While I like how they look on the outside, I bet those cabs are pretty small! |

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. |
