Say what?
Title:  Say what?
Description:  Yep, DMIR 211 stretches out over the Mississippi river with the lead roll on the WC transfer this afternoon. Only two maroon 38-2's left, so needless to say my day revolved around this unit. A truly memorable time!

L506
Title:  L506
Description:  The WC Transfer has quite the Dash 8 in the lead for the trip to Northtown. I like seeing these, but boy they sure look like trash. Mismatched numberboards, burnt out classlight, etc.

CN 6005
Title:  CN 6005
Description:  The WC Transfer is shown here scooting up to the Foley Wye, where it will turn East and pickup its Humboldt cut for its final stretch to the Depot at New Brighton. Daylight departure was a nice change, and the right engine leading was the icing on the cake.

CN 5553
Title:  CN 5553
