The Raven of Père Lachaise Cemetery. Dearest Egar Allan Poe, I hope this serves you well from behind the grave. I hope you like it, sir.

I'm very grateful I got to experience this one last time before the fall so here's another frame from less than a year ago.
This was the start of my last chase ever of these big standard cab GEs in the Minnesota north country and getting this shot was a goal that all came together on the last full day of my trip.
CN train U792 is departing Two Harbors headed for Cleveland-Cliffs Minorca Mine for another load of taconite pellets off the Iron Range behind a trio of C40-8s. They are marching up CN's Two Harbors Sub on historic Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway trackage approaching the bridge over the former DMIR Lakefront Line (now operated by the North Shore Scenic) and the Old Hwy 61 crossing at MP 2.4. All empties depart via the Two Harbors Sub and meet the Iron Range Sub at MP 7 in Waldo. The lead unit is about to step out onto the same bridge seen in this photo from down below a few days earlier: flic.kr/p/2qiV8wj If you look above the train you will notice the horizon line of the shimmering blue water of Lake Superior in the distance illustrating how quickly the mainline ascends up from the docks.
CN 2026, 2116, and 2028 were built as CNW 8527, 8569, and 8529 in Aug. 1989, Sep. 1991, and Aug. 1989 respectively for hauling coal out of the Powder River Basin. Later renumbered and repainted as UP 9049, 9081, and 9051 they were part of a large group retired by UP more than 24 years ago. They then served as Citirail lease units for a time until CN purchased the entire fleet between 2010-2012, and later modified a portion of those with straight air for Iron Range ore train service which has explained their unexpected longevity.
Alas after an entire second full career in heavy haul unit train service their time has come to an end as CN has modified 22 (I believe) rebuilt AC446Ms with straight air and has replaced all of these (and the EMDs on the Missabe Sub side) in 2 for 3 replacement schedule on all ore trains. According to a good friend and local CN employee the end would come in a bit over a month on October 26th when the last pellet train ran down the Iron Range Sub behind a three pack of Dash-8s.

From the poem, "The Raven" by Egdar Allen Poe.
Poe meant the Raven to symbolize 'mournful, never-ending remembrance' of his perfect maiden Lenore.
I think this is what this Raven whispered before it grabbed a french fry from my plate and fluttered off to parts unknown.
Grand Canyon ravens are bold..and even that is an understatement. My son and I were wolfing down lunch after a long hike when this huge guy landed on our table. I put my camera with a wide-angle lens down next to my plate and grabbed a few shots before he claimed his prize.
I didn't get a money-making, epic landscape shot that day, but this one always makes me smile!

Flickr Friday theme: Nevermore
Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
Too Early for Halloween? Sign of the Apocalypse? Eerie scene this evening as the smokey sunset combined with the ravens on a dead tree to provide a Halloween three-fer. Nevermore!
Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
“Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,” I said, “art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore—
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
- Edgar Allan Poe
Nevermore is a happy scarecrow, so naive that it is more friend than foe and a familiar sight in my bike trip to the coast.

EJ&E SW1200s 322 and 323 switch out the South Yard in Joliet, IL back in 2008. These units are of course long gone from the scene here. It's hard to believe the J fell nearly 11 years ago now.
With all the recent flurry of photos of the final trains to run on this unaltered single track stretch if street running I figured I'd edit up a few more from last summer's pilgrimage since I couldn't make it for the last runs.
After grabbing the shot seen here: flic.kr/p/2m9Ej1A we raced ahead down the road past the the train for another shot at this spot as they approach the intersection of 11th and Manhattan Streets at about MP 34.3.
The train is made up of the standard consist of single level Nippon Sharyo Electric MUs. #30 here in the lead is one of the double ended cab units from the original 1982-83 order that was supplanted in 1992 and 2001 (though the latter order only have a cab at one end).
