The Last Bit of Sun
It hadn't been a very productive day on August 23, 1978 around Waseca with rather poor weather and high humidity but a northbound Montgomery turn on the former M&StL that broke into the last rays of sun near Palmer made it all worth while. F3 208 leads 313, 318 and 6612 along with 7 cars of ballast to be spread in a rough patch just north of here. A friendly crew to say the least, the head brakie motioned me up for a ride on 208 and then all the way back to Waseca on 6612 after we dumped the rock. My Dad brought the car back to Waseca so I could enjoy some cab time on the Louie. The 208 was the only CNW F I ever rode in. I'm working on rescanning a bunch of stuff and while I posted a small version of this a couple years ago I felt like it was good to revisit this one.
