Chasing Grain -June 25, 2010

On June 25, my uncle and I headed out to do some railfanning on his birthday. It was a beautiful morning and day. First we headed north to Elk Creek to see if there was anything in the hole. Sure enough, we saw a unit grain train sitting in the siding. We learned about 2 minutes later that a meet was about to take place, and this is how we started our day.

Train #1: N/B Unit Coal Train
UP 5828
(Patched ex-SP) UP 6392
DPU- UP 6775
Location: North of Worthington, MN (Elk Creek)

Sorry about not getting more of this train, I accidentally hit the record button on my camera when I moved it.

Train #2: S/B Unit Grain Train
UP 6774
UP 6261
UP 6899
DPU- (UNPATCHED!!) SP 266
Locations:
Scene 1: North of Worthington, MN (Elk Creek)
Scene 2: North of Sibley, IA
Scene 3: South of Sheldon, IA

Thanks for watching!
