Railfanning the Twin Ports & Iron Range area part 1 10-27-17 & 10-28-17

The first few trains were on my way to the Twin Ports on Friday the 27th. Train #1 CN X110 (Winnipeg, MB-Chicago, IL): CN 3091 ET44AC CN 2950 ES44AC CN (ex WC) Neenah Sub at Weyauwega, WI Train #2 CN L561 (Amherst, WI local from Stevens Point): UP 4472 SD70M CN (ex WC) Neenah Sub at Stockton, WI east of Stevens Point. NOTE: IMO, a UP SD70M leading LHF on a CN local that uaually sees 4 axle power is pretty rare in this case.
