Its a start |
| Description: |
I had gotten a notification on the Heritage Unit app that CP 7030, the Strathconas tribute unit, was coming north on an ethanol train. After completing some tasks, I headed out to find it, since the timing was looking favorable. As I headed into town, I saw a train on the Lincoln St crossing. I was able to beat it to the US 412 overpass, where I got it under a cloud, a single SD 70 leading 78 cars. |

| Description: |
Now that the 262 has gotten close enough to get some side light, the engine and train are a lot better lit, bringing out the red in the bright sun. |

Stretched into the sky |
| Description: |
Id spent some of the day so far dodging clouds, as there was quite a bit of cover when I started. Now the sun was mostly out, but there were still some puffy clouds overhead, making for a pretty shot as the 262 stretches out near MP 239. |

The pasture where I often see steer has been cut, and the hay bales are scattered around waiting to be stored. It makes a scenic view for the southbound |
