The 740 job cuts cars in Wenona Yard on a beautiful summer morning.

The brush is thick on the North end of the yard...

LSRC train 326 sneaks its way out of the Alpena area. It is seen here crossing the busy Washington Ave. (M-32) with GP40M-2 1171 and C425M-ac 181 as the power.

Fellow Railpictures.net photographer John Ryan shoots train 327a as it arrives in Alpena.

The coupler probably belonged to the 698. Now it has a front row seat as the old MLW meets the torch.

Steam returns to Alpena! Okay, so maybe not. It's just an extra smokey 181!

M420W 3500 pulls across the Thunder Bay River bridge as the 181 lets off some smoke.

So this is what it's like to be a bug....taken with permission.

Lake State Railway train 327a pulls off of the "cheater's street running". My railfan van (used for elevation at times) can be seen to the left of the train.

Lake State Railway C425M-ac 181 approaches the Long Lake Ave. crossing. The unit will then tie down until the arrival of the inbound road freight.

Train 325 does some work in the Alpena Yard in a heavy rain.

What lucky power on such an unlucky day! Lake State Railway train 325, the Alpena yard job, carries out its duties with C425M-ac 1280 and GP40M-3 1171.

LaFarge's SW1200 #020 awaits the arrival of Lake State Railway 325 so it can switch the cars delivered by the Lake State. LaFarge also has a GE 44 Tonner.

Train 325 (the Alpena Yard job) has just put together the consist for train 326 which now awaits its crew to take it South to Bay City.
