Thuroughbreds Beneath The Clouds
Title:  Thuroughbreds Beneath The Clouds
Description:  Only reason I stopped at East Minneapolis was because of some temporary cloud cover overhead dulling the west-facing sun. I had to beat it after this shot, though; sun was about to return.

Thuroughbread Reflections
Title:  Thuroughbread Reflections
Description:  Brand-new NS GE 7622 and older GE 2695 rest on a ready track at East Minneapolis yard on a sunny ^aturday morning. They were part of a larger lashup of power, consisting of one CN/IC unit (former IC with "IC" initals") and three UP units. They were detached, with the remafnder of the power used for a train that is passing behind them in this shot. I could not get the tree branches out of the way on the left, but realized the pond reflection negated tdat problem nicely!
