Back Up to Dowling |
Description: |
TCWR 4301 comes up to Dowling Ave N where it will couple onto its cars before heading back up to Camden. This was the first time since 2004/2005 that the TCWR has been here to deliver grain. The gon on the right is for the Camden Job with runs in the afternoon. Check out the old code lines on the right, and how you can see the IDS in the background. |

Pull! |
Description: |
Twin Cities and Western 4301 gets a little workout as it tries to get 17 loaded cars moving. You can tell the traction motor blowers are going as well, check out the dust getting kicked up as it comes over Dowling Ave. This was the first time the TCWR has been on these tracks since 2004/2005 |
