After landing at Minneapolis-Saint Paul we drove directly to Duluth to see what would be running for the afternoon. A friend told us that there was an empty ore train coming off Dock 6, and we were able to intercept it just outside of town. We were rewarded by a set of tunnel motors leading the empty jennies upgrade approaching Keene Creek. This was the first location of an excellent afternoon, 5-17-23.
