Rail fan trip 10/18/08

Sometimes impromptu trips are the best!

I was supposed to help Bobi clean the house yesterday, but we got a late start to the day. While in bed, I heard my phone buzz somewhere in the bedroom. Finally, I dug it out and saw that Jeff had called about 10 times since Friday night. I thought that him and Nolan made it up to Michigan for their MEA weekend railfanning trip.

When I called him, he said that they were in Red Wing on their way up to the cities. I hemmed and hawed for a while, but finally I said yes. I could see that Bobi was just heart broken that we wouldn't spend the day cleaning the house. In fact, she even had a sly grin on her face as she fired up Donkey Kong.

I headed out, and saw a set of CP/Soo engines sitting on the bridge over 694, right by Cardigan Junction. I pulled off of rice street, and went on to the frontage road, appropriately called Soo Street. I got off a couple of nice pictures of the engines. I would post them, but I have not a clue where my card reader is.. D'oH

I'll have to finish this later when I can post pictures as well!
