Western Railroad Discussion > An EMD kind of Monday MorningDate: 12/10/12 11:14 An EMD kind of Monday Morning Author: rrartist After yesterday's snowfall, I wanted to get out again this morning and try to capture the frosty scenery. I started in Minnesota City MN with CP train #284, CP #6245/Soo #4435/CP# 6050/CP# 6048, what NICE way to start the day! I moved down to Homer MN for the next shot. Following #284 was CP train #270 with three nice EMDs leading. ICE #6432 was leading the charge this morning.

I caught up to #270 near Donehower as the train passed through the snow covered landscape and lastly in Dresbach MN. Ahhh, you have to like Winter!

Date: 12/10/12 12:44 Re: An EMD kind of Monday Morning Author: CPengineer Super job with the photos! I was the engineer on #284 - CP 6245. Train was 14,000 tons; 8,000 ft; only working dynamics on the leader and very slick out because of the fresh snow. We only made it to La Crosse before we died on our hours.

KG Date: 12/10/12 15:12 Re: An EMD kind of Monday Morning Author: mojaveflyer Nice shots! It's good to have something to show for freezing your butt to get them. I see a couple candidates for Christmas cards there, too.
