Western Railroad Discussion > From Reno MN to La Crosse WI with CP 675Date: 11/22/17 14:46 From Reno MN to La Crosse WI with CP 675 Author: rrartist What a pre-Thanksgiving treat! I was sitting near the Amtrak Depot in La Crosse WI when the CP Missouri DS toned up the CP 675, UP 2345 North and issued a track warrant from NSS Kains to Bluff, Kains being south of New Albin Iowa and Bluff being La Crescent MN. I immediately set out for La Crescent and points south to intercept the train. The top image was taken on the south end of the Reno MN dike, the middle image is just north of Reno MN and the bottom image is Brownsville MN. Nothing like a Tri-Clops SD60M to warm up a 26 degree afternoon!

CP 675, UP 2345 received permission to turn the corner and head east towards La Crosse WI where I captured the train for the last time next to the CP Yard office. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
