River Whitecaps

You know the wind is stiff off Lake Superior when there are whitecaps on the St. Louis River! While listening to the scanner after shooting a trio of C40s on Proctor Hill and waiting for a new CN ET44AC to climb Steelton Hill I overheard chatter on LS&M's frequency. It sounded like they were running an extra charter after their 1:30 train, an unusual occurrence. This is the only opportunity to get nice light on the north side of the line across Mud Lake and I made it there just in time. Many hope this won't be the tourist line's last year but the odds are against them.
