Another visit to IRM.
After our little visit to see TTI 260 on Friday, we made our way back to IRM today for their Labor Day Weekend event, specifically today as for second day of the event as pulling the coach train was none other than BNSF 9400. Seeing as I've been wanting to get more shots of the unit running the entire IRM mainline, this was a real treat. In addition to the 9400, we of course see Shay 5 pulling the caboose train and still sporting her experimental N&W 3 Chime, as well as some of electric stock making their rounds. As an added bonus, we made a stop along the Union Pacific's Milwaukee Subdivision after our day at the museum to snag CPKC 254 with a KCS SD70MAC leading and CPKC 546 with a YN2 AC44 in the lead. All in all, it was a fun day at the museum. Enjoy!
