The one time in the summer of 2009 that I caught three Js on a train, it was the morning of July 5, 2009. Posted one shot of the trio already on Flickr a few years ago, but shot it about four times up the hill as it slowly worked up the grade. Here 662, 665, and 659 shove M301 away from Nopeming Jct., west of Duluth, MN. The 662 was the only J-Ball that we got to shoot around the Twin Ports in 2009.
A trio of non-turbo SD38-2s made for an sound effect flashback to the Missabe days of 3-packs of the 200s. Back in 2009 they shoved northbounds that took the Peg all the way to Simar, which made it easier with track authorities.
This northbound is taking the former DW&P on the left, with the former Missabe to the right. Both lines are now 100% CTC from here to the Iron Range and now CN Dash 9 helpers cut off further south.
Another empty backs through the crossovers at Kangkongzhang on it's way down to the pit.

My two Js, 663 and 654, are all decked out with special birthday hats and lettering. The special lettering turned out good for being simply taped to the units. This is the first time I've decorated any of my HO scale units, and it won't be the last time, whether for people's burthdays or for holidays too.
My first day of shooting jumping spiders was very satisfactory.
Really love those shiny green eyes of this jumper!
