IC 6250
Title:  IC 6250
Description:  Later in the day, the Hill Job came down again, but this time it was light powered as it crossed over 40th Ave. They came to pick up some emptys at the ore docks. The 6250 has really lost a lot of its color since I last saw it a few years ago.

Hill Job
Title:  Hill Job
Description:  As I'was coming down I35 into Duluth, I saw a loaded taconite train heading down grade towards the ore docks. So I made the quick decision to try and beat it to the docks. Thankfuqly, I made it in time, and was able to get this shot. Little did I know at the time, but I knew the engineer! The engineer is none other then John Tuttle who used to work outof New Brighton last year as a conductor. This was quite the colorful lashup too!
