After catching UP 1988 on CN west of Lansing, I was heading back home to East Lansing when I noticed X500 going through downtown. After grappling over where I could shoot the train, I finally settled on Farm Lane. A very good choice seeing that the crossing closed forever several weeks later. CP 8775 leads X500 over the crest of the hill, completing its climb out of the Red Cedar river valley, as it approaches Farm Lane. |
