Train exiting tunnel on August 1, 1983.  GP9's #1743 and #1713 hold back boxcars loaded with grain on a steep section of track along the line.  This train will drop about 350' in elevation in about 3 miles down to Palisades.  One of my favorite photos taken of this line.  Blair Kooistra photo.  Here is another shot of that train just moments before.


Here is a picture taken from the locomotive's perspective some 26 years later.  September 2009 photo.

One of my favorites too. Have you seen the other shot in this series over in the BN section at SD45.com?
