CITX 3069 under the loader for Superior Silica Sands
Title:  CITX 3069 under the loader for Superior Silica Sands
Description:  My first two (and until this trip, only) photos on the WN were of a similar green and silver unit, 3064, at this location. Behind it is yet another former SD45 rebuilt to SD40-2 specifications, this one still in UP yellow. Others' photos identify it as CITX 2811.

Four blue EMDs pass a green one and a yellow one
Title:  Four blue EMDs pass a green one and a yellow one
Description:  This photo encapsulates exactly why a visit to the WN was on my bucket list. Have I mentioned it was absolute nirvana for a fan of classic, colorful standard cab EMD power like myself? After making pickups at the northernmost two of the four closely spaced sand plants, this train bypassed the southern two including Superior Silica here at New Auburn.
