Steaming at the Secret spot

It's actually far from secret with hundreds of photos taken here at the Highway 169 overpass at Mountain Iron, Minn., of trains leaving Minntac. But I don't think I've ever seen this much steam coming off the cars, or the trees flocked as nicely with snow, as on Jan. 9, 2011, with a loaded train heading for Two Harbors. This train really rocketed down hill, does anyone know with the trainload of new ore cars they had are higher speeds permitted?
