Western Railroad Discussion > Sunday morning races and chasesDate: 02/23/20 12:26 Sunday morning races and chases Author: rrartist One beautiful Sunday morning greeted me as I headed for the La Crosse (WI) Amtrak depot having been tipped off that CP 583 had a CN cowl motor leading, and sure enough just after sunrise the CN 2405 rumbled past. Time to race to Dakota for another shot! The Winter sun makes it a bit of a challenge, but I was happy with the results. Time to head north for CP 288 and the CP 7010. I waited in Minneiska MN and soon I was chasing south.

Date: 02/23/20 12:36 Re: Sunday morning races and chases Author: rrartist With Amtrak now ahead of him, CP 288 thundered out of Minnesota City. With Amtrak's station stop at Winona I was able to set up in Homer MN for #8 led by the #7! Soon the hills reverberated with the sounds of EMD / GEs as CP 288 cruised by.

Lastly, River Junction, I photographed many trains at this spot and it never disappoints! Thanks for tagging along!
