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 thought this one deserved another look.
Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday!
Not something i would want to do, even the guy standing on the top was making me nervous! I don't mind heights as long as feel safe!
After overextending themselves acquiring Milwaukee Road, Soo Line established a wholly-owned division called Lake States Transportation Division on February 10, 1986, to operate its mostly former Soo Line trackage in Wisconsin and prepare it for sale. With this move, older locomotives and some leased power began to be much more common on these lines. On March 22, 1987, a southbound Soo Line (Lake States) freight climbs to the top of Byron Hill at Byron, Wisconsin, powered by two Soo EMD GP9s and a leased Conrail EMD GP38.

if anyone wants me to edit a pic for them just ask!! ^_^ i'll probably edit something cute by kyoto animation studios (lucky star or k-on) but you can tell me what image or what kind of image you want.
This is another location that is extremely well shot for obvious reasons, but amazingly I'd never before seen this classic location for myself.
Vermont Railway train RDHJ is see again here at about MP 13.6 on the B&R Sub (former Rutland Railway) approaching the East Arlington Rd. crossing as they pass the historic depot dating from 1913 that is now available to rent if you wish. Check this out on VRBO: www.vrbo.com/1175304
Man GP38-2 201 (built new for the fledging VTR in Dec. 1972) sure sounded amazing notched out climbing the grade here. I'm not sure of the grade around the curve here, but it was more than I expected. If any VTR experts can weigh in on that I'd be grateful!

I had imagined there would be a great sunset so I headed to the top of The Roaches with Darcy. Spotting a climber on top I headed his way thinking I might silhouette him against the sky. But the sun quickly hid behind a very thick bank of cloud and all the light disappeared.
They were just finishing the climb, the one on top shouting down encouragement along the lines of, "Come on, hurry up! What's taking you so long?" The other looking up muttering, "Are you having a laugh? That's quite tough!" I would have dumped the shot as the lighting is horrible except the climbers asked for a copy of the picture which they explained was 'special' as they never get a photo of the two of them climbing together. And I think the photo captures the bond between the two (without any posing for the camera), presumably of friendship and trust. In that respect I was happy to oblige and send this photo to them!
