St. Croix Valley Railroad. |
Description: |
After leaving home at 6:40 AM to head up to Duluth, I decided to make a stop in Rush City to shoot the recently repainted units that the St. Croix Valley has. I got there just as the sun was coming up, and at the same time a crew member did. He started up the unit just as I gov this shot this. Those old geeps sound really nice. |

SCXY 1363 |
Description: |
The SCXY GP9 #1363 is running long hood forward outside Beroun as it heads to Hinckley to drop it's interchange off with the BNSF's Hinckley Local. This line has seen many RRs and things. Including a msytery that has yet to be solved, the easrly 1900s, a Northern Pacific train crashed into Devil's Lake ( A very small lake south of Pine City). Possibly both crew members were killed and the wreckage was never found. Divers last year tried to find it but failed |

SCXY 1363 |
Description: |
It's nice to see older generation Geeps still in active service even if they aren't on Class One RRs. GP9 #1363 is a former GN Geep, it went into BN in the 1970 merger, but retired by BN, ILSX picked it up and leased it to the SCXY, when it first came to the SCXY, it's classifcation lights weren't capped and it was in a ugly green and yellow scheme. In 2009, when the Snake River Bridge was closed due to slight rebuild, the GP9 went for a nice repaint. GP8 #1352 started out as a IC GP7 and was rebuilt to it's current look by the IC. After it was retired, ILSX picked it up and became the new lease unit for the SCXY. It too got the NP Tribute Scheme. Both units look very sharp and amazing in this scheme |
