| Description: |
Not what it appears is train 889 at Winona behind SOO 6002 and SOO 6050. The empty coke cars that would typically make up an 889 have been left at River Junction, so the crew is now shuttling some auto racks to the Twin Cities. |

On a clear and cold December day along the windswept Paynesville Sub, CP train 392 is just out of Glenwood behind an awesome trio of SOO SD60's. SOO 6003, SOO 6056 and SOO 6025 provide plenty of power (and photo opportunities) as they head over 100 loads of grain toward Chicago. |

This would be the last bit of sunshine for the day. |

After waiting out several delays along its journey, CP train 655 charges through Frontenac behind SOO 6033, SOO 6054 and CP 8514. Delays included a leaking tank car on an opposing train, a traffic accident that necessitated closing the mainline for a rescue helicopter, and a stop at River Junction to add the third unit. Then again, all the delays allowed for some very nice light to come around at this location. |

| Description: |
At the end of a frigid late-winter day, CP train 561 is struggling through a nightmarish trip from Chicago. First, the lead unit, SOO 6045, and the second unit, GSCX 7350, are taking turns over-heating and causing other problems while the trailing unit, CP 6015, is simply dead and drained. As if that wasn't enough, a hot box has just been detected and the train is seen here limping along at 10mph, desperately trying to reach the siding at Wyocena to clear Amtrak 7, which is bearing down fast on this train's marker. All in a day's work, right? |

SOO 6048 |
| Description: |
CP train 470 tip-toes along the 10mph trackage of the Owatonna Sub just south of Blooming Prairie, MN, behind an all-red lashup of SOO 6048, CP 5929, DME 6086 and CP 5946. The day started off cloudy and rainy, but by the time of this mid-afternoon shot, the clouds are gone and the temperature has soared to 75 degrees. This is likely one of the few times that a SOO SD60 has traversed this ex-Milwaukee Road trackage north of Austin, and it would prove to be a timely catch. Train 470's schedule would change about a week after this photo was taken, resulting in nocturnal running along this line, and the SOO 6048 itself would go under the knife just two months later, emerging as CP 6248 the following summer. |
