A Set up shot, no one was on the train.

Crossing the Iowa River a odd set of power of a SD40-2W and a SD70M-2

Got the Moon but not as planned as they stopped and worked picking up a car and the moon got much higher then I wanted, Oh well.

A crossing shot, don't normly get a drift right at the crossing.

Slowly rolling thru the country side with the Wabash F's and Colombia diner train in tow, Pushing some snow in this cut drift.

In a move that never takes place in daylight and maybe 2 times a year or less CN takes a car to Crystal Ice ( old Rath packing ) and passing GE Rail car ALCO switcher

Palo flood relief train, All runs sold out at $12.00 a ride

Ethanol Loads dragging it's train thru the sharp curve in the tunnel and a cross the Mississippi at the same time.

Can't tell the sky from the land in a White out, No snow is falling but the air is full of it. Plowing powder light and fluffy.

I like this spot and it's only 30 miles drive.

Lifting the snow at 50MPH and notch 8 as Raymond Hill is next and will suck the train speed down if you hit it to slow.

New cars glowing and first light

Dragging a long at track speed.

Last of the light makes for some nice highlights

Working hard to keep speed up on the Hogbacks.
