Getting Down to Business
Lake States number 12 is westbound out of Trout Lake with a fairly hefty train. GP30's 717 and 708 are notched up as they battle the grade near MP447 on August 17, 1987. Late evening clouds are rolling in and I barely got the shot off in sunlight. By the time 15 cars had went by me I was in cloud shadows. We had a pretty hefty rain shower about a hour earlier and it just made everything seem so vibrant that evening. Consists like this made the SOO/Lake States era spectacular. I posted a closer view of this train 4 years ago but actually like this shot better as it shows the grade out of town that westbounds faced much better..
