GP40 Deadline |
Description: |
Most of the ICE GP40 fleet sits dead and stored in a line at the ICE's Nahant Yard. Soon they'll be returned to the lessor and off the roster. Its a shame too, these units look really sharp and were recently rebuilt. |

Racing down the line |
Description: |
Four SD40-2 lead 270 down the mainline with 155 cars in tow as it heads towards Marquette, IA. This was an awesome chase and the engineer would notch it up everytime he saw us. Josh and I sure did well this day! Special thanks to Gordon for the info on this! |

Notching it up |
Description: |
The four units notch it up and kick up some smoke after clearing the small town of Marquette. The train sounded really nice and made for a great chase the entire way down. |

Sweet 270 |
Description: |
After doing more then my fair share of excessive speeding to get 270, I caught up with it at Lansing and was able to fire off this shot just south of Harpers Ferry. Great power and well worth the chase! |

Snaking down the line |
Description: |
CP 470 rounds the many S curves as it descends down towards Marquette after rolling through Postville, IA. I love how the train kind of disappears behind the hills as it snakes its way down the line. This shot was well worth the bad roads down there! |
