Two Harbors

[WCL]

Well I have gotten the honor to work on George's Two Harbors route......Seeing that he has a plate full....I figure I might as well help him eat whats on it....So I took some of his veggies off his plate and took on this project..............

Today we set up at Two Harbors on this early morning with a light fog rolling in off the lake.....As we get their, already action is taking place.....Here we see a DMIR unit on the docks pulling empties off while another empty LS&I train makes its way under the viaduct



We then move a lil further up the line and shoot across the lake at an ore boat taking on a load of ore


We then shift our attention down from the hill and got a point of view from down on the lower end of the docks


An early morning fog rolls off one of the Great Lakes here on Lake Superior.....While an ore boat takes on a load of iron ore pellets to take down towards Chicago


More progress and shots yet to come :wave:

Looking great! Two questions: Is this only in the city of two harbors or does it go farther south? Also, where does the LSRM drive their trains, I know they run excursions to Two harbors...

 

[WCL]

This is a DEM route and it goes all the way SOUTH into Superior Wisconsin....So thats where this route will all cover.......Now I just have to have the help of Adam (Cozmo®) to tackle that part for me :hehe:....As for the LSRM...I have no clue on where that runs.... http://www.dot.state.mn.us/ofrw/maps/RailLines20070806_1.pdf is what I am going off of

 

[transitguard]

Cool, your route will run all the way to the Lake Superior Railway Museum! I can hardly wait!:udrool:

 

[TrainMan12]

The lsrm runs from the Depot in Duluth to 2 Harbors. It connects to the bnsf in duluth and the DMIR (CN) in 2 harbors.

 

[WCL]

Good thing that Adam is from that area....Be ready for a lot of ?'s....But I do have most of the info ya once told me about that area....Also good thing I picked this here up http://www.pletsexpress.com/fnimall/Plets/054TPT2/vid_trains.phtml at the train show in Green Bay .....This will for sure help in that area .....Now its time to work on Saunders Jct......

No offence, but why would you post a script in a screenshots thread?
