198 with a decent sized train heads through the plant at Tower CK early Monday morning.
G77 heads for the depot with 5 hoppers and a caboose, complete with another days work.
While I was biking to a friends house, I heard train 486 (which I had just seen), let a westbound know they were just starting into the siding at Homer. Little did I know that the westbound was go... (more)

CP 291 rumbles past the Winona mile board on the last day of March. An AC44 thats obviously seen better days and a CEFX blue bird are in charge of this train.
Knowing this train was coming, I ventured to the depot to see what this train would have, and boy was I happy when it rounded the curve! Soo 6025 and Soo 6024 lead 291 through Winona on a beautifu... (more)
Little did I expect to shoot a YN3 SD60I leading a train on the River this morning! CSXT 8743 heads coke loads for the Indiana Railroad through Winona at 07:45.

GB&W 312,319 are about ready to depart from Winona with 9 cars. The GB&W in later years received most of its west end business from BN at East Winona and this train will be considerably larger aft... (more)
Late on a Thursday evening, 499 heads west through Winona with just a lone AC44 for power today.
Trying out a different location, I catch 290 with a stellar SD40-2/SD60M/SD60 combo!
The second of 3 westbound trains is 271, running with only the lead unit online. Here 171 is winding out of Winona with Tower CK visible in the background.
Two generic CP SD40-2's and ICE 6406 drag 636 onto the River Sub at Tower CK, following right behind 486-26.
