Night sand train sitting north of 207th Avenue |
| Description: |
I could hear a crew switching on the WN frequency while in Bloomer, along with a normal FRED tone and the DPU tone. I couldn't find any sign of a train in town, and it was quickly getting dark. Heading north toward New Auburn on County SS I spotted sand cars off to my left, turned around and saw this from the nearest crossing. Waited around until the light was pretty much gone, but no sign of movement. |

PGR 40 parked |
| Description: |
The WN was a classic EMD fan's paradise as it seemed there was at least one cool unit in every town along the line. However this one was shut down. Dig the intact class lights! This unit has an interesting story as it currently carries the same number as when it was built for Minneapolis, Northfield & Southern. Surviving SD39s are not too common either, as only 54 units were built. I didn't notice it until looking closely at the picture, but there are signs mounted to the handrails along the long hood on each side. Per other photos, they read "Proud Shortline Partner of Canadian Pacific Railway." |

PGR 41 crosses Duncan Creek north of town |
| Description: |
I had photographed at this crossing a year ago, but in near-darkness. There was a horse paddock nearby, and I was hoping I could frame them up with the train on the bridge, but they ran to the other side. |

Cloud-boinked |
| Description: |
The leaden sky of the morning was brightening as the clouds gradually broke up and scattered. I had about ten minutes of solid bright sunshine as I waited here, but of course seconds before the train arrived, a thick hunk of cumulus cloud blew in front of the sun. Seconds after the lead unit passed, it moved on and bathed the scene in bright light once again as if to taunt me. |

PGR 41 leading a sand train to Norma, crossing 157th Avenue south of town |
| Description: |
My parting shot of this train. What could get me to break off a chase of a sharp-looking SD45 carbody in finally-good light? Earlier while at the bridge in downtown Bloomer, I'd heard UP 1989, the Rio Grande Heritage Unit, get a track warrant on the Chippewa Falls Sub (same line as the WN, from Norma south to Eau Claire)! |
