Once the Caterpillars got out of the way the engineer rocked the units a few times and they were free to they resumed their journey.
It's a pleasant late March morning along the Rock River in Watertown, as Dakota Minnesota and Eastern 6359 (former MILW 193), leads Canadian Pacific's westbound train 289 over the beautiful stone arch bridge.

Pulling down the Wash into Milwaukee, CP 641 pulled length of mixed freight and empty ethanol cans as they roll west into downtown behind a pair of SD40s after a bad order gets set out in Muskego Yard.

NS train 309 heads towards Rockport to do its daily work with an ICE unit leading. Ironically 145 was following this train with a DME painted unit leading as well.
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.
It's a pleasant Good Friday afternoon, as Canadian Pacific's train 281 muscles out of Reeseville with a rather unusual leader, considering the consist as a whole.

The Watertown Patrol (G64) works the Watertown yard, as an eastbound ethanol train hammers the UP's Clyman Sub diamond on this chilly winter afternoon.
Nine years ago today brought me driving back north towards Superior after a fun weekend in southeastern Wisconsin. Picked up CP Train #170 at LaCrescent and chased it south until I hit the clouds at Lansing. Here DME 6090 and ICE 6090 south roll out of New Albin, IA with 110 cars.
This was CP by 2009 but they still ran like the DME/ICE with two manifests each way between St. Paul and Nahant, usually with blue and gold power. As WM Beecher said recently in one of his posts we all hit the DME/ICE hard, but it was such a fun era in midwestern railroading.
CP's Marquette Subdivision is busier now that it has ever been with coal, oil, and sand added to the manifest traffic. CP has invested quite a bit of money in this subdivision and it looks quite impressive. Can't say the motive power is as cool as it was in '09 though.
This is DME's daily westbound freight, Winona, MN-Belle Fourche,SD. A solid set of blue/yellow was very hard to get in 1992, as DME had not painted very many units at this time. Power 6359,6360,6363, all ex MILW SD40-2's. This is still one of my favorite "special" units painted.

CP train 440 waits for it's crew to board before departing east. A DME SD40-2 with clear CP heritage makes for an unusual leader and ride back home.
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.
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???
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
A loaded corn train on the IC&E Mason City Sub slows for a meet at the siding at Ossian. These trains were known as "feeder trains" ( note the F in the train symbol) as the corn was destined to feed mills in Arkansas for the poultry business. They were handed off to the KCS at Kansas City, hence the KCS cars.
Ethanol loads approach Fostoria, Ohio on CSX with CP power in the form of DME 6366 leading on June 15, 2013.
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.
