Yes, sun in Minnesota is a slight possibility, but lately its been hard to find. It does come to greet the IC 1002 on this lovely day on the first of March. Douglas Hildebrandt is in the process of filming these two EMDs on the WC Transfer. |

IC 1002 |
| Description: |
After bringing the train into town, two motors sit tied down on the West leg of the wye. This was common practice up until around 2006 or so, when CN decided that units must not be "wasted". |

A Tad Late |
| Description: |
After waiting for this train to come by my viewfinder for what seemed like an eternity, as It raced the sun to this spot, It shows up in the last acceptable time. Since the sun dipped, the light was dropping extremely fast, which caused me to do the unthinkable.....Yup, bump the ISO to 800. The grain could be worse though.... |

My 3600th shot added to the site, its been quite a long time since the first shot nearly 5 years ago. Fitting for this shot to be at New Brighton, the birthplace of my photographic endeavor. BTW, all of those speckles are cottonwood, which would cover me as the train passed. |
