After a crew change at North La Crosse and getting the line-up over Grand Crossing, this high priority manifest gets back on the move east.

A trip to Red Wing rewarded me with sunshine on this wonderful pair of Soo 60's, as they handled hopper empties up River on a November afternoon.

A first for me, two SD45-Bodied CITX motors on the same train! CITX 2794 and 2796 are in charge of a 70 car #277, slowing for the DM&E connection at Tower CK.

A mile out of a crew change, train #810 races past CP's La Crosse yard, and up to the diamond at Grand Crossing with clear track ahead.

Woke up to this monster roaring through my neighborhood at 06:15, and just over two hours later I fired off my first images of this train. After following an eastbound BN down the other side of th... (more)

Rolling up to Tower CK right on schedule, this years fall color train looks stellar with the phase I heritage motor and all matching Milwaukee cars.

A rare train on the Waseca Sub, corn mash #367 swings into Owatonna, MN doing every bit of track speed. The leader is the last remaining locomotive wearing IMRL dress.

BNSF 8281 has the honors of leading a tardy Amtrak 8 today. Looks like another cruddy P42 crapped out, so BNSF sent this motor to the rescue.

Thumbs up go out to Scott W. for getting a P42DC to smoke like an Alco. Thats talent! Amtrak 8 throttles up for a second spot, before taking off for La Crosse.

Five days before I had photographed a pair of Soo SD60M's (6060/6059) on train #2-282, but I never could have imagined seeing another pair so soon! Soo 6061, 6062, and CP 8741 have train #283 movi... (more)

A great looking 4 pack of C.A.T geeps are working hard as the depart Olivia, MN after a small set-out.

Wait, wait, wait, what year is it again? A Conrail painted SD60M and SD50 head a priority manifest for Northtown on a beautiful afternoon. At midnight, I had been tipped off about this train sitti... (more)

In the Summer of 95, a Burlington Northern caboose brings up the rear of an eastbound manifest... in reality this is the North La Crosse Local on a day they actually used a caboose.
