Album Info:More CP action on their Chicago to Twin Cities mainline, focused near the east end from Watertown to Milwaukee. This is one of the busier rail lines in Wisconsin and the only one with regular Amtrak service. Some days it seems like all you see is CP's red, widecab GEs, but patience and luck will yield a wide variety of classic and colorful diesel power.

Gradually increasing clouds got me every time on this one
Title:  Gradually increasing clouds got me every time on this one
Description:  My drive west from Milwaukee had two purposes on this day. Jointly with chasing this train, I was attempting to chase storms as a regional tornado outbreak was forecast to occur that afternoon. I was heading to the Portage area to intercept storms moving in that had produced tornadoes in far northeastern Iowa and western Wisconsin. They began to weaken as they got near me. Meanwhile, an infamous EF5 tornado would kill over 150 people at Joplin, MO.
