Viewing Album:  Thief River Falls Findings (4-16-11)
 
By:SDfourD Photography
Dates:4/16/2011 - 4/16/2011
Album Info:I traveled five hours up to TRF for a CP 490-13 that was parked on the now stub ended former SOO Line Bemidji Sub in hopes of its call time being correct, thus allowing me to get some shots of it on the Detroit Lakes Sub. Well, as railroads commonly do, the plan was changed and the crew would not be ready to head towards Glenwood until after dark. Enjoy the shots of the rare lashup and also a few old friends that are retired sitting near the old roundhouse.
