IC 6251 leads R922 up the grade at Proctor hill in some killer evening light. I was at the A&W in Superior when my friend messaged me that 6251 was leading a train off the docks, I had more food coming but I ran up to the cashier, paid and bolted out. Once I got to the bridge I made it with seconds to spare as I could already hear the EMD rumble.
After barely making it to catch this train a second time, I found a puddle just past the crossing as the train heads into Proctor yard.

At the former first entrance this pair of 62's is slowing down towards the second -and now only- entrance to the yard of Montzen.
They were engaged on a works train between Voeren and Remersdaal and are now entering the yard to run round and descend to Visé again.

Thanks to a morning "top of the hill" frost report from KMad I went to Proctor to check it out. There were some really nice pockets of frosted trees but by the time the PRS (R921) left for Duluth the sun had melted quite a bit. Still made for a nice scene at milepost 6.6. This was an all-IC set with 6263, 6260 and 6251. Two trainees on the PRS made for a 5-man crew, just like the old days.
At Proctor CN C40-8s 2033 and 2004 were together, possibly the first GE ore set assembled (reports are CN wants to try a pair of the straight air C40s on ore trains out of Proctor versus three EMDs).
The best looking IC on CN's roster takes some limestone empties down proctor hill in some fantastic morning light.
Three former BN SD40-2s lead a loaded UTAC pellet train south near Munger on a code blue morning. Shoot the older EMDs in ore service while you can as C40-8s are knocking on the door.
