A Wave From Farmer Brown
Title:  A Wave From Farmer Brown
Description:  With some "antiquing" in Photoshop, not half bad for a desperation grab shot with my phone after forgetting my DSLR in the car for this runby; and a massive gust of wind kicked up right as the train approached, sandblasting everyone with leaves and grain dust.

Saturday power move T004 fronted by one of the two (so far) repainted 60Ms
Title:  Saturday power move T004 fronted by one of the two (so far) repainted 60Ms
Description:  While I think the "horizontal" WSOR scheme as exemplified by the trailing three units of this six-pack would have looked great on the SD60Ms, this still looks better than patched UP (although "Wings & Flags" 6027 isn't half bad)!

Crossing the Wisconsin River where it flows out of Lake DuBay
Title:  Crossing the Wisconsin River where it flows out of Lake DuBay
Description:  Lake DuBay is a reservoir named for John Baptiste DuBay, a prominent early Wisconsin businessman/fur trader/Indian interpreter. In 1857 he was charged with murder for killing a man in a property dispute. Although acquitted, he was ruined by the ordeal and died at his homestead in Knowlton. This bridge is one of the scenic highlights of the Valley Sub, but never having chased on the line before I was too late to get more than handheld video here on the northbound trip.

Northbound on the ex-MILW Valley Sub, CN 5430 hammers the diamond with the ex-Soo Line Superior Sub
Title:  Northbound on the ex-MILW Valley Sub, CN 5430 hammers the diamond with the ex-Soo Line Superior Sub
Description:  Junction City is one of Wisconsin's busiest railroad hot spots. Over the course of various mergers through the years, both lines here fell under the control of Wisconsin Central LTD in the late 1980s. Their flag fell to CN in 2001. Nineteen years, 354 days elapsed between the last time I shot a train here, and this day. Those pictures are the first ones in this album. I didn't intend for it to happen, but it just kept getting kicked down the road. For some reason I had it in my head that it was a long ways away from me living in Madison, even though it's really only another hour beyond Wisconsin Dells, where I've shot CP(KC) trains on a quite regular basis over the years. The maroon and gold SD45s may be gone, but this pair of SD60s makes for a nice link back to the days when high-horsepower, spartan cab EMDs were the rule rather than the exception. I'll definitely be back again on a much shorter interval!

Lightning in a Bottle
Title:  Lightning in a Bottle
Description:  Frame grab from 4K video. CGs (cloud-to-ground lightning) had been striking to the west and north the whole time I was waiting for the train here, and I was hoping to capture something like this. A light shower had begun moments before the train arrived, and shortly the skies opened up and it poured the rest of the morning and into the early afternoon, all the way up to north of Junction City as I chased L581 toward Wausau.
