Frosted
Thanks to a morning "top of the hill" frost report from KMad I went to Proctor to check it out. There were some really nice pockets of frosted trees but by the time the PRS (R921) left for Duluth the sun had melted quite a bit. Still made for a nice scene at milepost 6.6. This was an all-IC set with 6263, 6260 and 6251. Two trainees on the PRS made for a 5-man crew, just like the old days.
At Proctor CN C40-8s 2033 and 2004 were together, possibly the first GE ore set assembled (reports are CN wants to try a pair of the straight air C40s on ore trains out of Proctor versus three EMDs).
