Hard working Helpers |
| Description: |
Even better then the power on the head end was the pair of IC helpers! It was great to hear two SD40-3s in run eight giving it all they had to shove the train up grade. The bass and sound that these units made reminded me of the good old days when the WC Transfer woula grind up Shoreham Hill. |

Later in the day, the Hill Job came down again, but this time it was light powered as it crossed over 40th Ave. They came to pick up some emptys at the ore docks. The 6250 has really lost a lot of its color since I last saw it a few years ago. |

Hill Job |
| Description: |
As I'was coming down I35 into Duluth, I saw a loaded taconite train heading down grade towards the ore docks. So I made the quick decision to try and beat it to the docks. Thankfuqly, I made it in time, and was able to get this shot. Little did I know at the time, but I knew the engineer! The engineer is none other then John Tuttle who used to work out of New Brighton last year as a conductor. This was quite the colorful lashup too! |
