Elbow Creek
The second cup of coffee from the Crossroads corner store at Iron Junction, MN cooled off quickly as we stood on the Rte. 37 overhead bridge waiting for the northbound CNR MRF local freight on the former Missabe. We knew we had 3 south bounds on the "Peg", but that wasn't the reason we came to the range. Just minutes after sunrise, the MRF with CN SD60 5416 raced north past us headed back to Virginia with a good-sized freight. This was a nice start to our day, only to get better with more EMD's and steaming pellets until sunset. CN MRF 5416 Irn Junction, MN September 15, 2021.
