Before Class Treat
Title:  Before Class Treat
Description:  Thirty minutes before my Business Law class started, I was lucky enough to catch an empty Dresser Turn come past Bethel University with a nice leader. The CP red goes well with the changing leaf colors around it.

Coming into town
Title:  Coming into town
Description:  With about a half hour before class to kill I figured I'd head out to see of anything was coming by campus. Not'even five minutes later L517 showed up with a great looking pair of SD40-2Ws for power.

Rounding the Bend
Title:  Rounding the Bend
Description:  While I was killing time before class, my brother let me borrow his laptop so I could check the ATCS to see if the Withrow Sub was lined yet for L517. Sure enough, there was a route, and based on where it was, I had little time to get it. After heading over to Lexington Ave, I climbed up a snow drift where I fired off this shot of L517 coming around the curve with CN 2302 leading the way.

L517
Title:  L517
Description:  Once again before class, L517 comes rolling into town with a GE unit in the lead. It would have nice if the 60F was leading, but beggers can't be picky!

C40-8 in the lead
Title:  C40-8 in the lead
Description:  L517 comes across Lexington Ave with a "new" C40-8 leading the way. The 2115 is in a special scheme to celebrate CNs 15th anniversary of being privatized. Power like this keeps things interesting for me, its better then the usual 57XX, or 2/3XX series.

Dresser Emptys
Title:  Dresser Emptys
Description:  This was a nice thing to catch between classes at Bethel. A neat looking lashup rolls by with an empty Dresser Turn bound for Dresser WI. Clouds don't keep me in; you never know what the CP will have on trains these days. While an all blue and yellow lashup would have been really neat, I kinda like the former BN SD40-2 in there. At any rate, this guy sounded really nice as he came by with all the SD40-2s online.

Dresser Rolling by Bethel
Title:  Dresser Rolling by Bethel
Description:  Here's a shot I've wanted since I've started college, and years later, I finally get it! However, it would have been better if the ICE unit was leader seeing how the Bethel Royals colors are blue and yellow!

Dresser Turn with two ICE units
Title:  Dresser Turn with two ICE units
Description:  I just leaving Target off of Lexington Ave when I texted Mike where the Dresser Turn was at. I got a reply saying he was at Cardigan, so I knew I didn't have long. I drove over to where the an abandoned hotel was and took advantage of the storm lighting. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Next time there are matching blue and golds, I have to shoot them coming past Bethel University, only fitting since I graduated from there and blue and gold are the University's colors.
