Midweek Photos 2/25/2015

So I was at the CSX yard in Tallahassee Sunday and spotted this odd looking caboose that has clearly seen its better days.

November 1993 excursion trip behind 611.  These are a sequence of shots during one of the photo run-byes.

Great photos guys...love the shots of the 611.

Chris, I was thinking of you and Gilly when I decided to scan and post those 21+ years old photos.  I'll post some more next week.  I have one of the engineer; it would be interesting to know if he is a forum member, or known to forum member.

It's been a busy week for me, but I did manage to get out a few times.  Had to put on my heavy expedition clothing though!

1. I returned to Ruthton, MN to get a few more shots of the old CF7 at the elevator there.  I knew there was a n/b grain train coming up from Pipestone, MN, eventually.  It took several hours though!  Turns out there was a meet with a s/b manifest there.  So, I got a bonus train!

2. Dakota & Iowa Railroad (DAIR,) running through Hawarden, IA.  This is a park on the north edge of town that has about a dozen or so old buildings that were refurbished and turned into a museum complex.  These sorts of villages are popular in the Midwest.  There is a house that faces the tracks that is fully furnished.  I'm going to ask if I can get a key, so I can set up inside one night to take a shot.
