One of CSX's new SD40-3s leads K644 through Churchville on a beautiful spring morning.

After doubling up and emptying most of Dock 6 the 3pm Proctor Road Switch does a air test before heading to Proctor, a Detroit Edison coal train empties at the MERC facility in the background.

CSX Q511 heads south down the LIRC with a SD40-3 leader. CSX 4002 was originally the 8026.

IC 6252, 6250, and 6254 thunder up Spirit Mountain with a train of empties from dock 6 in tow for Proctor. Local rumors say that this may be the last summer for the SD40's on the Missabe Range, bu... (more)

A rebuilt SD-40 awaits an assignment. Most are now gone. I always liked the Gyralite.

After dumping the tailings off in the pit that is located behind the hill in the background, the 650 rolls past the 3.6 signal as it heads back to Silver Bay for another load of tailings.

Increasingly rarer power drags empties up Proctor Hill.
