With rrartist activating the Western Wisc tip line on June 18th, thanks Jim, here are the results. Image 1 has CP grain train 380 cruising thru Homer, Mn. about 5 miles geographically south of Winona, MN Image 2 has us at Donehower with a westbound in the siding. Image 3 brings us to Dresbach, Mn Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/04/19 21:44 by Quakerengr.

The CP's drawbridge across the Mighty Mississippi River is 10 mph. This allows us the ample opportunity to proceed east on I-90 to further pixel our train. Image 5 has us in downtown Bangor, Wi. Image 6 Dispatcher put 380 in siding at Bangor for Amtrak 8, Empire Builder. The East end of the siding is called Bangor East, tho physically located in Rockland, Wi. Edited 1 time(s).
