End of 491 |

CP 291 |
Description: |
Another good 291, but this time it wasn't going to work in my favor. It would sit here waiting for 298 to come over from Humboldt and enter the BN before being allowed in to Shoreham, and by then it would be dusk and I'd be gone. |

DME 270 |
Description: |
The pair of SD40-3's get moving again after the 9600 went by solo. Even though the 6102 looks a bit ratty now, the two paintschemes together really show you how much cooler the IMRL was than the ICE, yet sadly few people thought that back in the day. |

Description: |
Surprising me in three ways (the trailing engine, the other trailing engine, and the last trailing engine), SOO 6052 charges West as dense snow coats the area and nose of the SD60. |

CP 293!!! |
Description: |
In an album where it seems like every other train is led by a Candy 60, I guess this should come as no surprise. But it still definately did! 6051 and 6062 trail. |
