IC 6250 |
| Description: |
NS went dead again after the two westbounds, but thanks to the helpful hints from a railfan buddy, we discovered that CN L521 was coming south with IC 6250 on the front, still in full IC paint. I fired up CN ATCS and with Google Maps guiding the way, we went north to Edwardsburg, MI where we grabbed the train passing the grain elevator coming into town. Didnt have this on the agenda for today, but well take it! |

| Description: |
Edwardsburg is home to a good sized lumber yard that CN works daily, so we jumped ahead of the train at May Road and got some shots of the train beginning its work. So cool to see a deathstar SD40-2 still working hard, and not in Minnesota or Canada, where the remainder of them are! |

The four centerbeams behind the power would be pulled up to another spur on the other side of May Road. With a few more shots, we began our trek back down to the Chicago Line in Goshen. |

| Description: |
Quite literally right on the tail of A491 was L521. I was hoping we would be able to make the next signal to the east. But, ever since they took out the intermediate west of the Marcellus siding, the next signal would be east of Marcellus, and I knew there was no way we would make it without missing it. Wakelee has a nice curve on the other end of town that trains ease into, so, we decided to settle for that. IC 6250 has called this local "home" for quite some time now, and was once again the westbound leader again today. Signals or no signals, cant go wrong with a Deathstar SD40-2. |

Wider shot of L521. We were hoping the train would be kicking up snow just like the last one. But, it appeared that the other train took care of the new snow. |
