Viewing Album:  WC Transfer in Minneapolis 3
 
By:SDfourD Photography
Dates:11/26/2010 - 4/29/2010
Album Info:This album is the third installment of the WC Transfer in Minneapolis. While locals and many crew members still refer to it as the "WC", you are hard pressed to even find more than a few WC cars on the train much less power. The album contains shots while the WC is battling the Highline ,heading to interchanges, and climbing Shoreham Hill.

On the West Runner
Title:  On the West Runner
Description:  A shot that I would bet Im one of the few to ever get, the WC Transfer on the West Runner. Normally, the WC takes the Loop track out of Northtown (the track in front of the red building), but due to the Loop out of service today they had to shove out on the West Runner.
