Perfect Timing!! |
| Description: |
Train 632 roars down the main as it passes through the small town of Dakota, MN with a trio of ICE SD40-2s. Thankfully the sun popped out for literally seconds, giving us the light we had been wanting all day. Just seconds before the train rolled through, people were walking along the main and ignored our shouts warnings to them of an oncoming train. |
