Fall
The fall is the most colorful time of year in Upper Michigan. it's also the hardest to shoot for the most part with the effects of colder air blowing over the warmer waters of the Great Lakes. It is almost like we live near a cloud machine. When the sun does shine(most often early morning or late evening)the lighting can be beautiful added with the colorful trees. The ever shortening amount of daylight is an added challenge. This Tilden empty brought most of the good traits of fall together as it caught some sun near Garnet late evening on October 21, 2003. A single 6 axle became fairly common on the empties after CN took over. Often it would be a 6900 class "grey ghost" SD40-2 rebuild but the WC 45's showed up also as this shot of 6594 rolling west shows.
