On the West Runner |
| Description: |
A shot that I would bet Im one of the few to ever get, the WC Transfer on the West Runner. Normally, the WC takes the Loop track out of Northtown (the track in front of the red building), but due to the Loop out of service today they had to shove out on the West Runner. |

After gettin intel from the yardmaster at Lafayette about this grain train, we pull up at a gas station right next to the power to fill up before we chase. When I saw the engine I was already happy enough, and then seeing the number was the icing on the cake! The chase was on on the old Monon! |

Although the power situation on todays railroads isn't quite as interesting as a few years ago, its refreshing to see the BNSF seemingly getting back to its old ways. Minus the spartan cabs, foriegn power is all over lately, and today the GALSUP has this freshly painted C40-8 trailing. |

CP 372 |
| Description: |
I've never gotten this shot with CSX power in almost five years of coming down to Northtown. Nothing special, but just interesting and really proof of how rare CSX power is on the Paynesville Sub. The WC transfer is shown in the background with a pair of EMD's which will have to wait for 372 to clear before proceeding to Humboldt. |

CP 372 |
| Description: |
Since the re-crew took place later than anticipated at Humboldt, all of my morning shots had dissapeared forcing me to go to the classic spot where the tracks head pretty much due-south for a short time coming out of the tunnel. And after a short wait the lovely C40-8 pokes out from under the shadows as it nears Pigs Eye. |
