BLE 909, WC 7496, & CN/IC 6100 head east over the Fox River.
B&LE 909, a tunnel motor, back through Freeport, which is VERY foreign ground to a B&LE, for the second time (pleasent suprise) as the lead engine on M338. Photo shot from the Highway 26 overpass.
B&LE 909 and 903 lead Missabe 317 and loaded limestone cars northbound through Saginaw.
B&LE 909 and 903 lead Missabe 317 and loaded limestone cars northbound out of Proctor.
B&LE 909 and 903 lead Missabe 317 and 58 loaded limestone cars northbound out of Proctor.
B&LE 909 departs Proctor with sister 903 and Missabe 317. 909 was rebuilt for the Bessemer in the shop in the background.
909 has strayed from home rails, seen here passing through the northern panhandle of West Virginia on a WLE/CN coke train.
A BLE tunnel motor leads a very nice lashup across the Fox River on the ex-IC Iowa line.
909 leads a colorful consist at Rook.
A lot of foliage has grown here since I last photographed a train on this bridge. Here's what it looked like in 1998: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=40770
909 is becoming a frequent visitor to the W&LE, thanks to the run-through coke train.
Westbound coke rounds the curve and passes Avella station, apparently undergoing restoration.
An unlikely meeting, this Bessemer tunnelmotor and former Rio Grande geep.
There have been several interesting visitors at Rook this spring, but this B&LE unit is the strangest sight yet!
