Roseville Job |
| Description: |
A little out of the ordinary for the Roseville job to come up to New Brighton, but odd moves do happen. Today the two GE's came up to pull 25 2-bay hoppers that were handed off early in the morning by the WC. But with only one engine on the 88 Job (the job that pulls the interchange), there wasn't enough power to take the extra 25, which is why this second move occured. |

| Description: |
As I waited for this train I knew the sun would be gone by the time it pulled through. So I started to set new settings to be able to hopefully pull off a shot such as this. Anyway, three Geeps rambo through New Brighton after hitting the diamond. You can tell that the bugs were thick tonight, by the lights near the ditchlights. Taken at 800 iso. |

My 3600th shot added to the site, its been quite a long time since the first shot nearly 5 years ago. Fitting for this shot to be at New Brighton, the birthplace of my photographic endeavor. BTW, all of those speckles are cottonwood, which would cover me as the train passed. |

A wish for many years, the oppurtunity to shoot the DMIR at New Brighton. Last time this happened over five years ago, I wasn't taking pictures. Now, its a different story, and with only two maroon SD38-2's left it couldn't have been more special. Needless to say from 9AM to 1030PM I was devoted to shooting this. |
