Amtrak 8 greets the beginings of fall colors, here in scenic Sturtevant.
Another Amtrak train scoots into Sturtevant.
This train was not able to make 60mph. I wonder why?...

Fall colors are just slightly coming into the picture (no pun intended)
A typical 2 GE consist hustles by Milepost 63 on the C&M Sub.
Check out those birds flying away! (One is above the number board, the other is above the second car)
Some guys have all the luck :) I never expected to have a BNSF SD70ACe and 3 of its sisters leading a Canadian Pacific freight train through Sturtevant! (This was not a detour train)
