Nice looking powerset heads downgrade at Keene Creek. Now we just need the #909 washed and the IC motor replaced with an orange one! I will say that the BLE orange weathers the dull spring season ... (more)

Crude ore loads are almost to the Uni-Tac plant.

Some days I love the CN. The last maroon SD38-2 (ironically a B&LE unit) which should have been numbered #214, but at the last minute General Foreman Martin Fair decided that it did not look like ... (more)

What is a CN? With homes dotting the leafy hillside, and SD38-2's chugging, there is no doubt that this is Missabe country.

Quite possibly the youngest qualified engineer in Soo Line history has an easy pull as he drags a rare consist to Duluth, as CP road power is rarely seen on the MN side of the Ports.

A single Missabe unit MRF?! No, but the next best thing! The MRHS's SD-M glides through the woods on its way to Marbles to swap 8 hoppers for 50ish coal cars.

Limestone empties are almost to Proctor as they roll through Munger in very cold weather.

Ex CB&Q GP30 trundles back to 28th St. with rock cars from Hallet.

A difference in orange. Coal empties with a pretty good powerset split the signals at Central Ave. I also swear the HI wasn't stamped by me.

I have always thought these engines wore the BC Rail paint well. Rare leader on the Peg Transfer heading from BNSF's 28th Yard to DW&P (CN) Pokegama Yard.

Vintage power winds coal empties through the curves as they head off of the BNSF to home rails and a trip up the Lakefront Line for storage.

IC SD70's leading a train in Northern Minnesota? Well not quite... With all the heavy trains CN has been running on the former DMIR and DWP lines, helpers are needed to get these land barges up an... (more)

It was a nice treat to see an SD70M-2 leading BN ore cars out of Allouez. The crew messed around for about an hour trying to find the ditch light switch on the lead unit. There is also a DP shovin... (more)

You can put lipstick on a pig... with all of her hood doors open for ventilation this fresh looking unit guts it out up Proctor Hill. The #5264 kept overheating and the crew had to explain to the ... (more)

Sadly, this is one of the better consists the Missabe can offer nowadays. Every scheme on the Missabe is represented, minus the best looking, Missabe maroon and EJE orange.
