A pair of MACs lead an empty coal train out of Midwest Energy on a beautiful June morning. The paint on this model has deteriorated all too quickly, but at least they match.

The setting sun marks the end of the day for these switchers.

CN 5683 heads through Saunders.

Awaiting switching tasks.

The Old Town job has stopped while the crew goes to beans.

Well, I'd have rather shot the EJE units but a clean SD70M-2 is a nice conselation prize.

An empty coal train departs the Midwest Energy dock on it's way West for another load of coal.

A pair of EJ&E SD38-2s (666/665) roll a short transfer from CP's Stinson Yard back to DW&P's Pokegama Yard. There are now 5 former EJ&E SD38-2/3s roaming around former DW&P/DM&IR territory.

Hostler positions this big GE at BNSF's engine facility in Superior.

If not for that BNSF on the side, the engine facility could be all BN, as two rarish GP28M's look on.

Yard job using the Brainerd Turn's power runs coal loads around the wye at Connors Point so the cars are pointed the right direction for the dumper at Midwest Energy.

Former DM&IR SD9 155 showing its fresh low nose as applied by new owner ILS. It was later repainted into a nice maroon and gold scheme similar to classic Soo Line.

A pair of BN SD9s pass by an idled laker in Superior.
