Viewing Album:  DM&E Day Trip(7th-8th)
 
By:SDfourD Photography
Dates:4/8/2010 - 4/7/2010
Album Info:I ventured down to the DM&E west of Waseca on April 7th to shoot 487, and then went for the grand prize after I got home from school on the 8th for 572 in Owatonna. Being a fan of leasers, 572 was pretty much a dream come true, and I can't complain about 487's train much either. Also pictured is 486 in Lime Siding, and a light power set West of Janesville. Thanks for looking and leave comments!

DME 486
Title:  DME 486
Description:  Tying the train down until the re-crew at 1800. FWIW, the lead unit will suffer a frozen axle in Wisconsin in less than 24 hours. It single-handedly destroyed traffic plans along the whole River and Watertown subs.

DME 487
Title:  DME 487
Description:  After getting a big break from the UP by letting 487 right through, it gets better. The short on time 487 gets to highball the setout at New Ulm, thus continuing the chase.

DME 487
Title:  DME 487
Description:  The four SD40's give it a few more notches to lift the 500 Axle, 7298 Foot 487 up the hill at New Ulm. The sound and scent was thrilling.

Wide Angle on 572
Title:  Wide Angle on 572
Description:  The beauty of.....leasers. To nitpick would be unfair, but I really wish the middle unit would have been grey as well.

DME 572
Title:  DME 572
Description:  On 10MPH track now, the three leasers work through the trees as the sun steadily sets. My gas tank can thank the sun for being so full still, I would have chased this guy till it got dark at any rate.

DME 572
Title:  DME 572
Description:  After picking up its conductor, 572 is back on the move and laying down some sand, as only the first two units are doing any pulling. The 3088 is isolated.
