FOXY First - a photo on Flickriver

FOXY First

            It was a rather inauspicious start for my efforts to record the new Fox Valley & Lake Superior operation. I got an early start from camp that put me at Bradley at 9am on Monday. I had driven through some fairly heavy rains on the way which were just starting to lessen when I got to the yard and found the outbound train wrapping up its assembly before heading west. 

Via the grapevine I'd heard they were shipping from Fifield again and was hopeful they would have cars and make that trip today. I was in luck as the train was a mix of empty lumber flats for the mill at Prentice and log cars for the Fifield landing. The rain stopped and the day slowly brightened, not the worst conditions as they would have been coming out of the sun all the way to Prentice had it been clear. 

I first set up here at Clifford, my first FOXY action shot. I had checked in at Prentice after the takeover once but it was off hours and no wheels were turning. Not bad, showing off the Soo Line era jointed rail but I was looking forward to the sky clearing off down the line. Turns out I would be bedeviled by the long hood forward, a light engine, and nuisance clouds this day leaving this as one of my better catches but I'll try not to get ahead of myself. June 6, 2022.
