I Caught Hell for This One - a photo on Flickriver

            I had my Dads 73 Plymouth Fury the day I shot this eastbound MILW job a few miles north of Iron Mountain. He had the car slated to be traded in on a new Chevy truck within days of this photo. I needed elevation for the shot and hopped up on the hood and needless to say there were a pair of size 11 bends on the right front corner of the hood exactly from where I stood. Dad was far from amused and he told me later the dealer knocked $100 bucks off the trade-in value of the Plymouth because of me using the caras a step-stool. I've posted a few shots of this train as I followed it from just south of Channing to Iron Mountain. 5003, 310 and 2042 roll toward Iron Mountain with 42 cars on September 30, 1979.
