Album Info:Heading up to thw Iron Range subdivision at 0300 on the 30th with little sleep was a very wise decision. Plensy of trains,&but by the end of the night six less engines and five injured crew members following the head on collision between loads leaving the siding at Highland and empties returning Norwh. Enjoy the 401 and 6258 leading their seperate trains for what would be the last time, plus the 404,407, and 6203. Thanks for viewing and leave comments!
