Tac loads roll down the hill to the docks at Duluth at 1100.
Just passed under the Rainy Sub (ex-DW&P), train came up too fast for le to frame up a shot with the bridge.
The yard crew has finished up and parked the pair of SD38-2s, but the trio in the foreground is preparing to take a taconite empty north.
As soon as I got back from shooting the 403, this power set rolled to the north end of the yard. Units still in IC's "Deathstar Black," like the other fallen flags absorbed into the CN, are becoming hard to find.
