906 on the Move in the Cold
A relief crew is on this cold pellet loader out of Minntac on the cold morning of Jan. 20, 2013. They got on at Kelsey and had to wait for northbound CN traffic before trying to head south. They got down the Missabe Sub. less than ten miles before getting stabbed by the MP35 detector. That allowed the approaching clouds to catch up and this shot was the only one we got of the Bessemer trio in sun with the steaming pellets.
B&LE 906 South departing Alborn after inspecting their train, finding nothing and meeting BCOL 4619 North. The 4619 was also nailed by the apparently cold, defective detector at MP35.
BLE 906, 903, 904 with U713 Minntac pellets, Alborn, MN on Jan. 20, 2013, -10F.
