After the storm and rain |
| Description: |
After dropping my brother and sisters off at the homecoming game, I swung by New Brighton on my way home to see if anything was going on. Thankfully, just as I was coming up to the crossing I heard the power notch up and the WC started coming out of the yard. The sun was also coming out, and it made for some excellent contrast against the dark storm clouds in the background. |

Giving a Wave |
| Description: |
L506 rolls under Silver Lake road with James Humbert at the controls as he gives a nice friendly wave. After getting a shot of the train, I had only seconds to get a shot of him waving when I saw him leaning out of the cab. Given the time I had, I'm really happy how this shot turned out (and so is Humbert!)! |

Just Simply Wow |
| Description: |
Wow, simply WOW! A new addition to CNs roster, a former CNW C40-8, leads out of the yard at New Brighton on a fine August day. This helped to give me some energy after a hard day a work boost me up a bit before my Business Law class as well. This unit was also VERY clean too. I'm really looking forward to seeing many more of these at New Brighton on L506 in the future. |

Blasting by Bethel |
| Description: |
Before school started, I wondered over to Victoria to happily find a green light, and seconds later, I saw a set of head lights. So I hustled over to this classic Soo Bridge to set up and get a shot of L517 flying over it. This scene will be different in the coming weeks. The city plans to put a trail in right under the lead axle on the 1027. |

Late L517 |
| Description: |
A very late running L517 comes through Shoreview near the end of its run in some great afternoon light. You can only get this shot of a westbound in good light in the afternoon, so I made sure to get a shot here. |

For some unknown reason, this CN SD40-2 made its way to New Brighton on the WC Transfer. It sure was nice to see an SD40-2 leading again. |
