CP Motive Power Past And Present |
| Description: |
What a lovely Hudson "The Empress" is. Here she is charging past an eastbound freight that changed crews while in the hole at Loretto an hour before she arrived en route to Glenwood this day. Wonder if the crewman from the diesels watching her go by wanted to trade places with one of the guys in the cab! |

Whistling Through Loretto |
| Description: |
Here comes Canadian Pacific 4-6-4 number 2816, "The Empress", with an excursion to Glenwood, MN, on the old Soo Line main. Here, with a CP GP tucked in behind her, she races through the small town of Loretto whistling and chugging up a storm. As she approached I sang the aloud praises for F. Nelson Blount, thanking him for saving her for his Steamtown collection, from which she returned to her old owner. By the way, would you belive 2816 once had smoke deflectors? Copy and paste this link: http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/steamtown/shs3g.htm and scroll down the page to find and black and white shot of her with them. |

Charging Under The U Of M Transitway |
| Description: |
Here is the CP 2816 and MILW 261 about to duck under the U of M Transitway just across the border with Minneapolis in St. Paul's Midway area. As they charged beneath, their combined smoke plumes blocked out the sun, by gum! |

The Approaching Drama |
| Description: |
Here comes CP 2816 leading MILW 261 with their excursion along the river having just departed Minneapolis Junction and are now almost through the old GN Union Yard about to duck under Highway 280. Wonder if the people in the minivan and truck were doing double takes? |

There She Be |
| Description: |
After giving me and my chase buddy the slip out in Medina, we relocated the Empress at Humboldt Yard. After dashing ahead in case she was going further east, we doubled back to Humboldt upon learning this was as far east as she was heading. |

State Fair Worthy |
| Description: |
A State Fair-worthy crowd had quickly fathered by the Empress by the time I drew close on the platform at SPUD. Getting the signals at left was a lucky nice touch. |

A Closer Look |
| Description: |
The crowd thinned like a parting fog bank just enough for me to get closer to the Empress for this shot. |
