Last Light at Aurora With the midwest getting a blanket of snow and frigid temperatures this weekend, it feels appropriate to flash back to my long weekend at the DMIR a year ago. These ex-UP, nee-CNW, C40-8s are mostly, if not entirely, removed from the iron range last I heard. I'm certainly glad we had a chance to shoot them. Dash 8s dominated the Iron Range sub, the former Duluth & Iron Range Railroad, on our weekend there. Had we longer, we may have explored farther along the D&IR trackage, but we certainly got our fill of these units. They look sharp in CN paint, and remarkably clean considering how the railroad treats much of its other older power. At Aurora, MN, we caught a triplet of C40-8s - 2020, 2116, 2033 - hauling empties back west. As we neared golden hour, some fine sunlight illuminated our trio. We would follow these back to Iron Junction before scurrying down to Fairlane to catch our BLE/IC/CN trio pull fresh tac out at sunset. Boy, that was a fun evening.
