Fashionably Late
Hearing that the CN was late arriving into the Twin Cities, I felt compelled to take advantage of the opportunity on a sunny weekend day. Thanks to some afternoon sun and fresh snow, I had my pick of spots to check out, so I settled on the curves between Jewett and Cylon - a place I've admired come back home from Gordon, Wisconsin. I've driven through here dozens of times and wished the CN Minneapolis Subdivision had more trains for to take advantage of the pleasant scenery.
I settled on this curve and the wait was on...and continued for well over a hour...closer to an hour and 15 minutes. In that time, I counted five cars passed this location, one of which was Dean Sauvola according to the remarks on one of this photos. I had a text warning system set up with Khang Lu who was camped out to the east of Cylon.
Finally after 3:00pm, the train appeared fashionably late here at Jewett with CN 5670 leading and a KCS unit trailing. I did not realized there would be double stack containers for the New Richmond Autoport, so the train's appearance was much different than I expected.
