    Thank you!

    Thanks! It started as just a vacation to visit my wife's family in Warroad, MN. Seeing that we both had taken two weeks off we figured that we would take our time and do some of the tourist type attractions along the way. One thing led to another and I started researching where surviving steam engines were located along the route and made plans to see as many of them as I could. It's a good thing that my wife tolerates my addiction to trains.

    One morning I woke up early to do some railfanning and headed east of town. I captured a few signal shots and a CN truck performing maintenance.

    CN Roll By - Warroad, MN

    Time for a quick CN roll by. It was nice to see something other than U.P. yellow.

    My last shot in the Warroad area was of this CN unit that had recently crossed the border from Canada.

    I always have to smile and shake my head when I see warning signs that are covered by "nature" since they are not taken care of. As time goes by they might as well put the sign on the train itself that say you just been hit by a train.

    I have to agree with you. I had a similar thought when I came across the sign.
