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.

Early AM Dresser
Title:  Early AM Dresser
Description:  A chase that would take too much typing to explain pays off at 0656 as the CP 6009 steps into the sunshine at Cardigan East. I literally grabbed by camera, locked the car, and ran all the way to this vantage point with no time to spare. I wasn't even set up before he rounded the corner, but scrambled with the settings and got a shot that I'm pretty pleased with. I guess the 6009 is "THEE" power for this train, its the third time I've shot it leading this year.

Dresser Surprise
Title:  Dresser Surprise
Description:  Well I didn't expect to see this today! My original intent was to catch the WC coming into town when I saw an approach signal at Victoria. I got out of the car, set up for a shot and a few minutes later, I heard the distinct sound of a CP horn. I was very pleased to see such a neat lashup on such an overcast day. One should note that the leader and trailing unit are both former Milwaukee Road units.
