Hill Job
Title:  Hill Job
Description:  As I'was coming down I35 into Duluth, I saw a loaded taconite train heading down grade towards the ore docks. So I made the quick decision to try and beat it to the docks. Thankfuqly, I made it in time, and was able to get this shot. Little did I know at the time, but I knew the engineer! The engineer is none other then John Tuttle who used to work outof New Brighton last year as a conductor. This was quite the colorful lashup too!
