February Blues in a Good Way!
Author: rrartist

Cabin fever, February Blues, whatever you call it, I'm looking forward to warms temps as much as the next guy. BUT, crystal cold weather makes for some awesome exhaust effects as we will see! CP 471 leads off the morning with the CP 5929 leading the mostly EMD consist into La Crosse WI. CP 9368 leads the CP Flagship 198 into town followed by the RCP&E 6439 with train CP 470. Any guesses where I went next???

If you said Bangor WI, you are most correct! Listening and watching three vintage EMD motors pound along on a very cold morning is nothing short of being amazing!!! You all have a GREAT week!

It's shots like these that keep me coming trackside to try and get my own. Nice series. In that first shot, looking down along the units, that NS GE sure stands abit taller than those EMD's. At least at cab height. Thanks for sharing. Ben

Thanks for these.

I especially like the composition of the 4th one, and the tilted, inquisitive look of the enginner in the 5th one.
