Sunday. Time to go
home. We didn't want to go home. We never do whenever we come to
Duluth. We sat in Caribou Coffee in Canal park feeling sorry for
ourselves. Just looking for any excuse not to go home. Looking for
trains is a good excuse. Even Mrs TS-USA thought it was a better excuse
than
going to the mall. So off we headed. I decided we would retrace our
steps from the previous days. Start at the fuelling point down to
Stinson yard
and then over to Oliver Bridge. Things were pretty quiet at the
fuelling point as several of the locomotives seen at Stinson yesterday
were stood about doing nothing.

A selection
of Geeps 2617 and the EMD leased 874 that I saw at Stinson yesterday
plus two others a GP39E No. 2748...

|
|
...and No.
2733
a GP39-2. That seemed to be it though I did see some other stuff in the
distance. Being unfamiliar with the area and not wanting to get caught
trespassing I just settled for a
long shot of this GP and a pair of SW's
|
|
With that we
headed off down to Stinson to see if there was anything there. First
sight saw a pair of coal trains wating to go up to Midwest Energy to
unload
|
|
Then a
closer view of one of the Geeps left in the yard from yesterday.
Actually I don't think it had moved an inch. GP40X No. 3032
|
|
Then a little bit of activity as
remote control fitted GP SD40-2 No. 7877 headed north into the yard to
make up a train for somewhere
|
|
That was it really,
we headed over to Oliver Bridge. But there was nothing going on there.
So we decided to call it a day. Grab some lunch and head for home.
