Guitarist Jimmy Page, best known for his work with Led Zeppelin and the Yard Birds, produces a daily web page (http:\/\/www.jimmypage.com<\/a>) that chronicles his work over more than five decades.<\/p>\n

On This Day<\/a> picks an event (or two) and gives Jimmy\u2019s viewers a bit of background, often describing the roles of his fellow musicians. On occasion he drops in a railway photo or a clip from an old movie. Jimmy often carried a Nikon SLR on his tours.<\/p>\n

Today, I\u2019ll borrow Jimmy\u2019s format: on this day 22 years ago (23 September 1994) I was traveling with Tom and Mike Danneman in the Minnesota Iron Range.<\/p>\n

At the time I was working with Tom at Pentrex Publishing in Waukesha, Wisconsin where we produced Pacific RailNews and Passenger Train Journal. Mike worked across town at Kalmbach\u2019s Trains Magazine.<\/p>\n

I learned a lot from our Midwestern excursions in the mid-1990s. Both of these brothers remain among the most talented railway photographers and artists in North America. Tom now works at Kalmbach, while Mike is a freelance artist based in Colorado.<\/p>\n

Among our destinations on 23 September 1994 was Duluth, Missabe\u00a0& Iron Range\u2019s Fairlane facility, where in a thick fog we photographed this pair of SDM diesels with an iron ore train.<\/p>\n

I’ve always liked the way the loading equipment looms ominously in the fog. The leaning signal is a bit of distraction though.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Later in the day we visited Hibbing, Minnesota, which is probably best known as the boyhood home of Robert Zimmerman (aka Bob Dylan).<\/p>\n
