I randomly came across this departing Northtown as I was driving on University Ave. I got pics of it at:
Dayton's Bluff:

Newport:

Passing the 3M plant:

and finally in Prescott, WI:

I had a good time spending a couple of hours chasing this rare visitor. Sure is a pretty paint scheme. Too bad the light wasn't any better...most of my pics turned out kinda blurry. Anybody else get a chance to see it?

It went by Pigseye at about 2:47, Newport at 3:04, 3M at 3:24, and Prescott at 3:58. It was actually traveling pretty slow for train in that area, nothing but yellow signals when I saw it.
