Sweet 270

Snaking down the line
Title:  Snaking down the line
Description:  CP 470 rounds the many S curves as it descends down towards Marquette after rolling through Postville, IA. I love how the train kind of disappears behind the hills as it snakes its way down the line. This shot was well worth the bad roads down there!
