There aren't a lot of places in southwest Minnesota where trains have to fight steep grades, but a notable exception is the climb southbound BNSF trains make along the Redwood River from Marshall to Florence. This train was struggling about as hard as any I've seen along here. It took 25 minutes to make the 8 miles between Russell and the US 14 overpass at Florence. It will soon be rolling downhill again through the hills of the Buffalo Ridge toward Pipestone.

I'm kind of obsessed with this tree, needing to photograph it each time I'm in the vicinity.

 

je suis un peu obsédée par cet arbre, ayant besoin de le prendre en photo à chaque fois je suis dans son coin.

A Southern Pacific CSUX coal empty climbs through the “S curves” at Crater, Colorado, on the afternoon of July 30, 1996. The head end with lone SP AC4400CW No. 298 has already passed through the cut that is visible at the top of the photo. Mid-train DPUs Nos. 217 and 371 climb between the curves in the middle, while rear DPUs follow below with Nos. 361 and 226.

This bee was climbing all over, and only flying once in awhile. Not sure if he was saving energy or what, but he did eventually take off and disappear. All of his climbing did let me get in a few nice shots though.

Just down the road a piece from our picnic area there is an intersection and at this intersection were a store, restaurant and a rock climbing school with adventure guides. Anita stopped and went in to chat for a few minutes and came out all prepared to go rock climbing on Seneca Rocks. I told her I'd wait at the bottom and catch her if she falls......

Here is another photo taken at the viewing tower I visited today. There will be more, after all I risked my life to get these photos. I think this capture was taken on the first of three floors and I guess that was the moment when I asked myself for the first time if I had a screw loose. When I arrived at the top I KNEW that I had a screw loose.

No cat photo today, I had to take Cleo and Linus to the vet this afternoon and they aren't in the mood for photos. And Fynn is angry because he had to stay at home.
