ILSX 1343

I made a "pilgrimage" to Delavan to shoot one of my favorite locomotives, ILSX 1343. This motor spent time around Thief River Falls and the Minnesota Northern before getting leased to the Central Farm Service elevator in Faribault County.

 

I waited a while, exposed in the wind, for the clouds to form enough of a hole to shine on the unit - something around 20 minutes in my estimation. I refused to leave without a sunny photo of ILSX 1343. A gap eventually opened up enough to illuminate the scene and the fading Union Pacific paint scheme. I am super pleased with the results.
