Runner Up
I got out of the house again, when I'm headed in the direction of Ladysmith I use the schedule of L520 as motivation. I strive to reach Ladysmith by 8am when the local off the Barron Sub usually starts the trip to Stevens Point. Despite getting there by 8 I missed L520 by 5 minutes and they got the route onto the Superior Sub as soon as they asked for it. After grabbing a breakfast sandwich before continuing on I took a glance at ATCS, L520 was on its way to a meet down at Sheldon but another southbounder was up at Murry with the route to follow L520. I decided to roll the dice and run up to County Road A and intercept this mystery train. The ubiquitous GEVO isn't all that inspiring but I like the sag here climbing away from the Thornapple River (through truss bridge visible in the distance). February 28, 2020.
