Rolling right along the bank of the mighty Mississippi, train #277 motors westward into the evening sun behind IC&E 6449, DM&E 6080, and StL&H 5593.

Things are getting quite green, so its back to the barn shot! This time with a green and silver leaser leading #277 past the farm.

DM&E, more like land of the leasers... NREX 7370 and CITX 3081 have a short #277 on a sunny thursday evening as they head for the DM&E Waseca Sub.

NREX 7931, ICE 6458, CITX 3172, DME 6084, DME 6370, and CITX 2804 make quite the rainbow on this 120+ car train #277 approaching the tiny town of Uitca.

Spring is here, and things are getting greener! Six dash-2's create the rainbow effect, dragging a monster train #277 through Lewiston on a lovely March afternoon.

Four SD40-2's, each a little different than the next, make the climb up Stockton Hill on a lovely Spring afternoon.

After meeting its counterpart at Homer, #277 rumbles into Winona behind a 5 pack of dash 2's.

A first for me, two SD45-Bodied CITX motors on the same train! CITX 2794 and 2796 are in charge of a 70 car #277, slowing for the DM&E connection at Tower CK.

Eight Dash 2's swing through Tower CK on train #277, only minutes before sundown.

Now thats a neat red unit on the DME! StL&H 5593, DM&E 6368, and CITX 3090 are at the 10MPH crawl as they approach the connection at CK. At first sight I thought the leader was a red DME bomber, b... (more)
