Soo Line Grain Train Behind SD40-2 at Minneapolis, MN

This Soo Line SD40-2 leads a grain train at Minneapolis, Minnesota.  Grain is a staple for the Soo Line.  The four locomotives groan under the heavy tonnage on the cloudless summer day given the task at hand.  Heavy tonnage is good for the farmers of the Upper-Midwest and good for the railroad.  As the train approaches, I give a brisk wave to the engineer.  All is good with the train as it rolls onward to market.
