Remarks & Notes

Due to high water from the flooding Mississippi River, the Canadian Pacific decided not to detour but instead push/pull trains through the high water. Although the water here is over the rail, it was low enough not to affect traction motors. This pair of SD40-2s are slowly moving north to grab the rear of the 273 train and pull it into the yard.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 81,105
Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.
