I\u2019d traveled to the Iron Range with Mike and Tom Danneman. We spent three intensive days making photographs. It was early autumn and the trees were tinged with color. The Dannemans led the way, as it was my first visit to the Range.<\/p>\n

A cropped version of this image appears on page 50 of my American Diesel Locomotive, published by MBI in 2000.<\/p>\n
