Western Railroad Discussion > Some RCP&E PhotosDate: 07/02/15 14:55 Some RCP&E Photos Author: RCPE_Hogger I went on a small photography trip with my buddy from Sioux Falls and also two guys from Minnesota who came to photograph the RCP&E for a few days from Minnesota. We started from Huron and worked our way to Onida, following the Huron, SD to Onida, SD local L-HUBL. Lucky for us, he did not have any stops along the way to Onida, which provided us with plenty of daylight photos, until Onida, where we got some sunset photos while the local out cars and performed some switching before picking up cars there.
