LOCOLLECTION: The Midwest: Prarie du Chien!

My adopted home town. I love PdC, a great place to stay is the Holiday Motel, unless you hate being woken up every 30 minutes by passing freights! Wisconsin & Southern, BNSF, I&M Rail Link (in Marquette, IA) all are here. These shots are from our trips in Spring and Summer of 1998.

A shot from downtown PdC of NB Conrail 6736 (SD60) w/ a Conrail SD40-2 in tow...

WSOR 2018 down by the river on a cold February day in 1998.

The Canadian National used to run many trains through PdC with trackage rights on BNSF. I hope that's still true, I hope to find out this next summer. Here's CN 2441 (C40-8M) on the lead of a NB manifest

A BNSF 8274 (SD75M) shot by my wife, Jamie.

A AT&SF C40-8W-BNSF SD40-2-BN SD40-2 SB.

Three whiteface BN SD60s led by 9228 near Lock and Dam #9.

More shots from Lock and Dam #9:

Across the river in Marquette, IA:

I&M Rail Link 103 (exS-OO GP9) and 378 (SD45).

I&M Rail Link 607 (ex-SP SD9) and 114 (ex-SOO GP9). I love high nose Geeps and SDs.

I&M Rail Link 205 (SD40-2) and 222 (SD40-2) by the casino.

A monster UP C44-9W on a SB grain train. Had SP 280 (C44-9W) as the second unit!
