Now I've Really Seen it All
About 3 weeks after the previous shot of 6652 leading an ore train by the Ore Dock in Escanaba I bagged this view of the Tilden empties train SOESA arriving at Escanaba with AC 1755 leading 6626. This train ran west from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont to Larch on the old SOO and then took the connection onto the old CNW for the trip to the Ore Yard. Here the power will be swapped and a pair of 6 axles with take the empties to Eagle Mills and return to Partridge and pick up the loads and bring them to Escanaba. By that time this crew should be rested and these units will depart for Sault Ste. Marie with the loads. While FP9's were common on these trains seeing them in the lead wasn't. I'd followed this guy all the way from Trout Lake trying to get him in the sun and only managed to at Larch and here as he pulled into the yard. May 17, 1997
