At sundown on October 29, 2008, DM&E train MHUCC rolls across the Cottonwood River bridge just east of New Ulm, MN. This was DM&E's final day of operational independence, and the following morning CP officials in Minneapolis would literally ring a bell to announce the official integration of all former DM&E and IC&E lines. It was a bittersweet moment for me, as the DM&E had given me a second chance at experiencing C&NW style railroading a decade after that railroad's flag fell into the mighty UP system.
DM&E ran a very similar traffic base as C&NW over miles and miles of light, jointed rail bedded down with pink lady ballast. C&NW station signs were common. Crews still ran in and out of Waseca, Winona, Tracy, Huron, Pierre, Philip, Rapid City, Crawford and Belle Fourche. Ghosts of the C&NW and predecessor railroads Winona & St Peter and Fremont Elkhorn & Missouri Valley were everywhere. Some days, it wouldn't have seemed to be too much of a stretch to come across the Dakota 400 rolling into Sleepy Eye or New Ulm and screeching to a halt in front of the station.
But of course, this wasn't C&NW, this was the DM&E. A modern progressive regional railroad that was welcoming to fans and loads of fun to chase. I spent many hours and many miles along the railroad and enjoyed every last minute of it.
As they say, all good things must come to and end and for the DM&E and my time with it, this moment was truly the end...
Ich denke, der Drogeriemarkt "dm" hat dieser Einwegkamera doch ein recht originelles, modernes Gesicht verpasst. Es ist nicht das Standard-Design wie bei dieser hier, obwohl das Gehäuse (und sicher auch die Technik) identisch ist.
Man kann übrigens die Kamera auch mit eigenem Foto versehen.
Wenn's auch so aussieht: Es ist kein SW-Film drin, sondern wie üblich ein ISO-400-Farbnegativfilm :-)
