Creeping to a stop in the siding at Loretto to meet a westbound.

Spring is in the air, or maybe its just manuer being spread. A trio of EMDs rolls east of Maple Lake on a warm spring day.

A trio of CP veterines head east through Watkins, MN

Southbound ICE ethanol train waits in the Dubuque for the CN to clear Wood

While this may not look like Chicago, its just north of Archer Ave along the BRC Main Line.

Early morning light and EMD power. It doesn't get much better than this! (Ok, two blue and yellow engines would have been better!)

DME train 487 (old MNHU) heads up the Stockton Valley at a steady 10 mph. Nice to see three different CP paint schemes!

This manifest is parked waiting for the CP crew to show up and take it to Chicago. This becomes train #486 on the CP.

CP 222 at the east switch

Surprisingly the sun is actually out. The sun did not last long.

After a meet with intermodal train 169, CP 165 resumes its northward journey toward Montreal on the former D&H main.
