The engineer of 491 was standing right next to me enjoying the sunset as I snapped some shots of his train holding at Murray.

Regarded as the worst blizzard of the 2013-2014 winter season, winds gust whipping newly accumulated snow around the Thief River Falls area. Amongst the storm, Canadian Pacific trains still trave... (more)

High winds overnight have formed drifts in some places along the CP north of Glenwood. Two unrebuilt Soo Line units are plowing a little snow as they get underway out of Glenwood and head for Thi... (more)

The final westbound in a three train parade soars over the frozen Clearwater River between South Haven and Kimball.

The sun is rising on a cold winter morning, setting the eastern sky ablaze as a westbound for Winnipeg nears Glenwood.
