An impressive collection of power on the head-end of the L594 as it rolls over the Whiteface river at Kelsey, MN on it's way to Proctor from the Iron Range. Leading the train was CN GP40-2W 9544 followed by CN SD40-2W 5338, IC SD40-3 6252, B&LE SD40T-3 904, CN SD40-2W 5337, GTW SD40-2 5934, IC SD40-3 6263, B&LE SD40T-3 900, IC SD40-3 6264, DM&IR SD40-3 406 and CN SD40-2W 5287. The last 9 engines where all isolated, making the RTC dispatcher happy.
