CP687 @ New Brighton, MN

There's no place like home.

 

CSXT 8536, a rare bird of the first Dash 3 testbed, swings around the rather historic alignment which maintains the feel of the former SOO's East Main for a few feet.

 

A place I first remember shooting from in 2005, despite being a regular amongst the wye/diamond areas. I would ride SD45's across this segment from time to time as well, with a rather vivid memory of engine sway/yaw one morning due to the switch frog with the late Ed Patten at the throttle.

 

Nowadays the lure of shooting is less, and reason to frequent New Brighton has also decreased, so today was a nice opportunity to go back to home turf to shoot this guy. Thankfully the sun held on just long enough.
