Flying West - a photo on Flickriver

Flying West

            I had heard a gray ghost leading the 261 train while they were talking with Wisconsin DS in La Crescent and was I hoping for an intercept much further up river in the evening. I did not fully appreciate that the DS's other westbound in the vicinity at the time was a ballast train. In desperate need of a spot for this still-unknown-to-me westbound ahead of 261, I stumbled across this very nice overpass view just west of Red Wing. Hearing a very non-CP horn soon thereafter, I figured it might be an interesting subject. A Belle and CP friend blitz west and kick up a storm of Cottonwood seeds. Yeah, it was interesting.
