On a crisp early fall morning, DM&IR 400, B&LE 903 and IC 6256 provide about the only color across the landscape as the leaves haven't started to change much yet.
CN ore cars are finally starting to get a thick coating of taconite dust, which takes away the sheen and imho makes them look better. This picture also shows why the Missabe used maroon!
The winter that just won't end. Heavy, wet snow continues to fall as DM&IR 406 leads the 145 empties northbound towards U.S. Steel Minntac for loading.
