Viewing Album:  Early Morning CN & BCOL Freight
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:3/22/2012 - 3/22/2012
Album Info:Not sure why I was up so early and by a railroad track waiting for a train but at least was rewarded with a Canadian National and BC Rail duo heading south on the former Elgin Joliet and Eastern Rwy line. The morning sun sure lit some of the cars with a brilliant hue, almost blinding.
