Was in town for a lil bit but didnt have much time to RR fan, so I took a quick spin down to Grand Crossing to see what kind of action was in store for us and what was going on today.....
When I got down there I seen the La Crosse, WI - Portage, WI Road Switcher 586 leaving the yard at La Crosse and he heads east to start the day...Power for 586 today is one of SOO LINES SD40-2's
Also at Grand Crossing but on the BNSF side we see the hot Z-train from Chicago headed for St Paul....Train Z-CHCSTP waits at Grand Crossing for a tie gang to clear up in the yard before it heads north to St Paul
While Z-CHCSTP sits on the main at Grand Crossing, 586 gets the clear to head across the diamond
With the tie gang in the clear, the CHCSTP gets a green to head over the diamond and continue north for St Paul
