Remarks & Notes |
On a cold late fall day in northern Minnesota where the temperature is currently only 2 degrees above zero and a wind chill advisory is in effect with wind chill values of 25 to 40 below zero it's nice to look at a shot from a warm summer day and think about Mexico. On a perfect late summer afternoon, FXE 4678 rolls west at BNSF Gunn Jct. with 504 total axels heading for the Magnetation Mining Co. load out pocket near Grand Rapids, MN. The crew at Magnetation has 24 hours to load and weigh the train out and get it ready for the return trip to Mexico. It's fairly rare to see four (there's two on the rear) Ferromex engines in northern Minnesota on a single train.
