Just another stack train on the Northwest Transcon. I enjoy the colors in this photo.

Priority UPS - LTL Intermodal Train from Chicago, IL (Cicero Yard) - St. Paul, MN with two new engines (7707, 7706) on their maiden voyage. (Canon EOS20D, 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM)

Regular Merchandise Train from Chicago, IL - Waterloo, IA. The IC 6071 is smoking it up in the middle.

Time Sensitive Freight Train from Bensenville, IL - St. Paul, MN rolls north along the Mississippi River. Nice to see the GE trailing on a CP train for a change!

One of the great things about living in La Crosse is the chance to see CP 2816 and MILW 261 on a frequent basis. It was nice seeing familiar faces and meeting some new ones at this event.

High Priority Merchandise Train from Belt Railway of Chicago - Northtown, MN. Fourth unit is an ex-Indiana Railroad E-unit. (Canon EOS20D, 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM)

Feeder Train from Mason City heading south towards Kansas City and the KCS. (Canon EOS20D, 70-200mm f/2.8L IS)

Unusual power leading the CN Train from Chicago, IL - Waterloo, IA. (Canon EOS20D, 16-35mm f/2.8L USM)

Intermodal Stack Train from La Crosse, WI - Ashland Avenue, IL (NS). (Canon EOS20D, 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM)

A nice daylight catch on this stretch of railroad. Most of the CN trains run in the dark across Northern Illinois these days.

Priority UPS/LTL Intermodal Train from St. Paul, MN - Chicago, IL (Cicero Yard) leaves the North La Crosse Yard with two classic BN engines in the lead.

A nice suprise after work on Tuesday afternoon made the trip by the BNSF North La Crosse Yard worthwhile.

The rest of the train is back there somewhere! (Canon EOS20D, 400mm f/5.6L USM)

A nice engine consist for the always-interesting H-NSINTW.
