CHS road power brings a cut of cars out onto the mainline.

North Shore Scenic Railroad power set brings coal empties back to the BNSF in some sweet light. I figured I would take one day to shoot these moves, as I will be working the next 9! Here we see 1... (more)

Ironic in that the neighborhoods aren't so welcoming any more, at least to revenue making coal trains. I figured I would take one day to shoot these moves, as I will be working the next 9! Here w... (more)

I figured I would take one day to shoot these moves, as I will be working the next 9! Here we see 124 coal cars heading back to the BNSF for interchange. #316 is owned by the MRHS and maintained j... (more)

Not rare, but an uncommon scene as one unit (normally two) drags a short transfer back from Duluth and into Stinson Yard.

Hib-Tac heads northward out of Allouez for da' Range.

GHOST TRAIN! After a derailment at LP forced the closure of the SB IR Sub from Waldo to Two Harbors, empties get rolling again through a nice little spot I discovered. Little did I know a short 3... (more)

Trying for a fresher take on a common coal train leaving the Ports. The majority of BNSF and CP trains in the Twin Ports have to pass through this location at sometime. In the foreground is the tr... (more)

A short 0700 Superior heads back to its namesake behind two classy geeps. Looking back, I must admit I feel spoiled, having only shot CP geeps once or twice over the past two years, with the major... (more)

I like the angle, which shows off some of the distinct feautres BC Rail had. Two sets of angled ditchlights, marker lights, cab bell, etc.
