A fine autumn afternoon finds Canadian Pacific's eastbound freight, 484, approaching Watertown with a leader that knows the route quite well. The Dakota Minnesota and Eastern 6364 was CMStP&P 203 in it's previous life of glory.

A shot I got near Red Wing some years ago when I was travelling the area for work. I know getting a four pack of the B/Y's was pretty exciting at the time.
Another old memory from my Minnesota travels. These sure topped faded red GEVOs from a railfan perspective.
KCSM 4502 and a sister AC44 start the uphill climb onto Stockton Hill as they power a K29, a lifter symbol for a 547, seen here right at Milepost 7 on the former DME Waseca Sub
An eastbound manifest, I think it was CP 278, works the east end of Muskego Yard over Burnham Bridge with a fine leader.

Sadly I never spent a lot of time on the DME but a number of my friends and slide trading Buddy's sure went after it with a vengeance:). This is ex M-K now DME6057 leading a freight in frosty winter conditions at Balaton on January 29, 1999. Tom Farrell photo, Chuck Schwesinger collection.
One of the biggest drifts on the Jackson Line is Alden Hill. The crew this day was struggling to wing back the drift here. Out of the blue, the ditcher crew said told the engineer to back up a half mile. Leopard and I repositioned not knowing what was going on? Next thing we hear is, "ahead 40." Yeah what a experience! Glad the next snow storm was coming in to add some color to an all white shot. To this day I am not sure why the fly by in the middle of the winging job???
The west end of the Mason City Yard had a fixed distant signal for the diamond with the UP at the Bear Trap. The signal here and Nora Spring were just a reminder to be prepared to stop at the diamond signals. A westbound from Marquette is putting their train away as an outbound crew hangs a marker to get ready to head to Marquette.

A good memory from west of Waseca 10+ years ago. I miss the days when I traveled the state for work, and could arrange those travels based on sun angles and the path the ROW followed. Good times indeed.
The Aurora turn is moving right along across the James River Valley where an F4 tornado took out what was left of the small town of Manchester back in the DME days.
Back in 2013 I was on my way home from northern Minnesota and was following google maps to Nahant, Iowa and I came across this.

A nice EMD pair consist of SOO 6038 and DME 6051, bring 243\'s freight past the London International Airport.
Thanks to 50 Mission Cap, I've gone down a bit of a 243 rabbit hole tonight. Over 10 years ago, 243 was a Toronto to Bensenville priority manifest train. Toronto would dispatch this train with whatever power was available, so it wasn't uncommon to see colourful EMD lashups on 243.
