St. Croix Valley Railroad.
Title:  St. Croix Valley Railroad.
Description:  After leaving home at 6:40 AM to head up to Duluth, I decided to make a stop in Rush City to shoot the recently repainted units that the St. Croix Valley has. I got there just as the sun was coming up, and at the same time a crew member did. He started up the unit just as I got this shot this. Those old geeps sound really nice.

SCXY 1363
Title:  SCXY 1363
Description:  It's nice to see older generation Geeps still in active service even if they aren't on Class One RRs. GP9 #1363 is a former GN Geep, it went into BN in the 1970 merger, but retired by BN, ILSX picked it up and leased it to the SCXY, when it first came to the SCXY, it's classifcation lights weren't capped and it was in a ugly green and yellow scheme. In 2009, when the Snake River Bridge was closed due to slight rebuild, the GP9 went for a nice repaint. GP8 #1352 started out as a IC GP7 and was rebuilt to it's current look by the IC. After it was retired, ILSX picked it up and became the new lease unit for the SCXY. It too got the NP Tribute Scheme. Both units look very sharp and amazing in this scheme
