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 :-)
This was a real challenge for me. I really need practice with tinting. Thumbnail shows the original. I'm excited to see what everyone else does with this!
An A-10C Warthog of the 355th Wing banks sharply while climbing away from a target at the Barry M. Goldwater Range in west-central Arizona. While the aircraft wears the markings of both the 358th FS "Lobos" on the nose and the 354th FS "Bulldogs," the pilot was from the 357th FS "Dragons."
We have been so busy lately you just have to take the opportunity for some quick pics where ever you are. Children do not try this at home.
A big beast! A Plaxton Elite I on a Volvo B11R tri-axle that started its life on cross-border express services in Ireland and was photographed on a summer Saturday Megabus duplicate in the North West.

This week's artist presented a real challenge for me. Somehow I think my Mona looks as if she has some sort of skin condition!
The DM was a heavy duty version of the Mack R Model. Sometime in the 80's these fiberglass hood DMs came out, and they were very common when I was growing up in the 2000's. I normally didn't bat an eye at them until very recently when I noticed I was seeing less and less of them on the road.
