Visitor from afar
Title:  Visitor from afar
Description:  This 113 car coal train came through Hoffman Av with a real surprise-a CLEAN SP unit in the middle of a three unit set. This is the best looking SP power I have ever seen. That's Dayton's Bluff in the background. There's a park on top of the bluff which has a great view of the St Paul skyline and the action along the river.
