Western Railroad Discussion > The Reprieve of Winter

Two more days with blue skies and the temps in the 40s, for January, I can get USED to this!!! Que the slap to the face, yes it's going to get cold again and yes it's going snow again....anyhow on to the trains from Wednesday afternoon, H NTWKCK holding north of the yard in Onalaska WI as two other trains worked ahead of the BNSF 726. A quick dash over to Dakota MN netted CP 474 and the "Proposed Merger" lash up led by the CP 8870. This morning started off at Donehower MN with CP 689 and the CSXT 7210 - 7259 - 3xx.

A short time later CP 680 rolled through Dresbach MN behind the CP 8731. This afternoon I caught the H NTWBRC rumbling out of La Crosse WI behind the BNSF 5896 and one more.....

As always, nice shots, Jim!

In a classic show of exhaust and thunder, BNSF X LVWEDU (Longview WA to East Dubuque IL grain empties) snorts eastward behind the BNSF 7080 and a friendly wave.

Another excellent Winter Reprieve Series Jim! Lots of great variety. It was balmy 41 in the backyard today, but I'm sure snow will return.

It's back! Nice bunch. We are getting some tomorrow, BUT, I am in MS. Snow all you want!

All good but I'm going to pick the 7080 "pouring the coals to it"
