Id been wanting to get away for a while and over last weekend I took my girlfriend camping on the North Shore here in MN. I dont post much lately but those who read what I do post know that Im I huge fan of the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range RR which is right up where I was camping. On the way into town I saw somthing right away that I didnt expect to see, one of the few remaining DMIR tunnel motors, even though she is in the darn old CN colors she was still one heck of a pretty sight. I got to see some trains in the Two Harbors yard as well, The first thing I saw was a IC loco. Our campgrounds are right on an old Missabe line which is now owned by a scenic railroad. But on the last day i came out of the tent as a CN Hi Rail truck went by, followed by three MOW units, all still in Missabe logos! That was a great site! Had a great weekend, didnt want to bore the girlfriend with trains, but still managed to get in some awesome trains!
