Better Than I Thought |

It pays to stand 6'5 feet tall: I was able to get this shot of PGR 36 on the grounds of their Bloomington freight house despite the chain link fence surrounding the grounds. The shot came out better than I thought since the sun was shining from behind the subject. |

Photo location is at the west 96th street grade crossing along the maze of industrial tracks jutting off of the old Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern "high line" west if 35W. |

Resting for the next day |
Description: |

Track in the right background junctions with another spur just south of the grade crossing in the distance. |

The Illusion Of An Approaching Train |
Description: |
The PGR 36 waits on the west side of the 35W bridge on a gorgeous early afternoon in late April. It was sitting unmanned due to the PGR's "push/pull" operations on the line utilizing units at each end of their trains. At this moment the crew was using PGR 34 to switch their freight house, leaving the 36 to create the illusion of an oncoming train down at the bridge. I still kept my distance regardless. Better safe than sorry, folks. |
