Dresser Turn With Four EMDs
Title:  Dresser Turn With Four EMDs
Description:  While in class today I got a text about a Dresser Turn with some good power on it. Much to my delight it had two ICE units, a CITX lease unit and finally a CP SD40-2. You rarely see a lashup like this anymore, so I jumped on the opportunity to shoot this train. We see the train as it starts to throttle up grade at Country Road F in Shoreview, MN. The lead unit is former UP, followed by an ex CNW unit, the CITX is a former SP SD39, followed by a true CP SD40-2. PIcture taken from HD video.
