High-Nose Stranger Up North
Title:  High-Nose Stranger Up North
Description:  High-nose Geeps are seldom seen in Minnesota. This one I discovered on a train hunt this morning, tucked-away at a grain co-op served by the Twin Cities & Western. I was quite surprised to see this type in service and so nicely maintained. This made the whole trip a great success.

Title:  WSOR on the old MILW
Description:  The WSOR Horicon-Oshkosh turn arrived in the morning. I finally tracked it down in the afternoon and found the crew was gone (lunch?). I had to climb through marsh grass to get the shot, but it was worth the trouble. The WSOR has always been tough for me to catch outside their yards.
