Description

Back to reality and filming the Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad but this time in heavy smoke from Canadian wildfires plus we even had ash falling on everything! I caught ELS 400 GP38 heading north with a long line of cars, I'm not sure where ELS 1221 SD9 is.. I hope nothing happened to it while I was away!
