AMTK 301 "Day One" ALC-42 trails the OLS P42 with the EB 'Builder on Holiday Train Day |
| Description: |
My DSLR's battery turned up dead, so I had to throw it on my car charger to get enough juice for this shot, so no photos of the Holiday Train shoving out and then pulling back in for the Portage show. |

AMTK 317 about to slam Popenfus' crossing with No. 8 eastbound |
| Description: |
Popenfus' is a Milwaukee Road-era local nickname for Ontario Street. I thought the Siemens Chargers were hideous when the short-haul version first appeared on the Hiawathas several years ago, but they've grown on me, especially with the Phase VI and VII paint schemes! |
