With the throttle open wide, train 660 screams through Minnesota City. Notice the friendly wave from the engineer.

Bearing down on their counterpart, #271 flies into Minnesota City East on the mainline behind an epic power set! Snoot nose IC&E 6439 leads Soo MP15AC 1543, and CP 5917 in some great evening light... (more)

Eight Dash 2's swing through Tower CK on train #277, only minutes before sundown.

CP 8839 and CP 9816 head train 330 into Winona. The first five hoppers behind the units were all D&H.

Bluffs or green, fields of gold, and dash 2's of blue and yellow... it doesn't get much better then this!
