Viewing Album:  DME Day Trip (488/489)
 
By:SDfourD Photography
Dates:7/26/2009 - 7/26/2009
Album Info:Got a heads up that the ICE 6100 was leading the 488 at Dodge Center, so that was all I needed to hear. After finding 488 outside of Dodge Center, we start heading East for the 489, which will meet the 488 in a few hours. I have been wishing to shoot a former Milwaukee SD40-2 on the DME since I can remember, and just as I was mentioning that I hear the Operations Manager call up "DME 6363". Score! The rest is history, so I hope you enjoy this short and sweet set of shots. Thanks for looking!

Classic DME
Title:  Classic DME
Description:  The City Of Rochester is nearing its namesake as it blows over this classic CNW bridge as motorists go about their day without so much as a glance. Years back this may have been the CNW 6805, and those cars could have been brand new Buick Regals! I can dream....

DME 6075
Title:  DME 6075
Description:  With the CP applied DME gracing(hardly!) the side of this old cast off, DME 6075 is now once again owned by the CP. Its pretty funny how most of the DME's engines are all ex CP in some way, as the 63XX's are former Milwaukee as well!

DME 489
Title:  DME 489
Description:  After heading through an interesting tree "trench", the three DME's are down on their last notch, but surprisingly with this large train and only the lead and last unit online, they made it with pretty good speed.

Description:  These three units are getting up to the mainline/siding switch to make the meet with train 489. These guys will get to go home as well, as they are going to be dead on hours.

ICE 6414
Title:  ICE 6414
Description:  The third unit. I've always wondered why some of these ICE SD40-2's have the clear numberboards...

DME 488
Title:  DME 488
Description:  ICE 6100-6458-6414 make relatively easy work with this 77 car train as they approach a few signature CNW "trestles" on their way towards the river valley. This paintscheme looks great in B&W!
