Golden glint at Burnett
The most photographically useful mile on the Missabe strikes again with this consolation prize U717 yesterday. I had been out specifically to catch the squeaky clean veterans unit leading A439 but it outran the setting sun to Birch. After failing I started southward for home and caught up with this guy at Culver and beat him here to the south crossing at Burnett with about 6 minutes of sun left.
Ya don't get this opportunity often. Also as you'll see in the companion photo this is a set of shiny new 8000 series ore cars that have displaced the old order astonishingly quickly. The Missabe is down to one or two trainsets of old cars in pellet service.
