Two geeps lead a lengthy 581 around the bend at Maple Springs. The train will go into the hole at Lakeview and let CP 499 pass.

The highlight of a very slow day on the River was this 271 powered by a great set of IC&E Dash 2's.

An extra 199 heads through Maple Springs behind a one unit wonder.

CP 581 takes the siding at Lakeview to let 499 pass.

Now thats a one-unit-wonder I'll be fine with! DM&E 6054 motors through Homer with a 79 car empty hopper train.

Now this is a sight! A pair of BN painted trip-clops SD60M's head a FRA inspection train up the River Sub! Never thought I'd see a BNSF SD60M on the River Sub again, let alone a pair!

This sure got me out of bed today! Last IMRL painted SD40-3 heads 276 out of Winona right into the morning sun. IC&E 6102, CP 5957, and CITX 2794 have it easy today, with just over 60 cars of trai... (more)

All of 271 can be seen in the picture; the last car can be seen on the left.

With MILW 261 out for servicing, SP 4449 was used for the Fall Excursions held every year on the Mississippi River. Tickets are on sale for this years trips, not sure what the power will be yet.

Amtrak #7 gets ready to highball Winona at sunset.

IC&E 6442, CITX 2796, and CITX 3080 head a 21 car 171 up the River Sub.

Quite a lash-up heads west on the CP after picking up 17 cars at River Junction.

A great looking Soo SD60 heads freight from Kansas City on train 171. Sure is a different sight from 2 years ago, when this train ran with 2 ICE/DME SD40-2's.
