CP 8602
Title:  CP 8602
Description:  Westbound. I've been told this a BNSF train, from Duluth to Wolsey, SD or Wyoming (I've heard both). The funny part is that BNSF apparently thought these locos were for HP pay back and sent them on this train, but in actuality they were supposed to be the power for CP train 377 out of Superior, WI.

DMIR 210
Title:  DMIR 210
Description:  This loaded T-bird was the only time I caught a DMIR engine leading a train, and one of only three I saw on my trip (one of which was non-operational). Funny thing is, the 210 looks like it's running better than the IC behind it, a number of which were brought up to replace engines like the SD38-2.
