Late light

IC 6251 leads taconite ore pellets from Utac south along the Missabe Sub.

 

My plans to catch this train in some great afternoon sunlight would be squashed by some serious cloud cover and a trio of northbounds that would have them hold the siding at Alborn. Luckily, the fall color here added some character to a fading light shot.

 

Eventually, they would continue their southbound journey to Proctor Yard and then prove to be elusive for me over the following days.

Something about the white safety stripe on the IC 6251 makes this more appealing that the yellow stripers.
