One Iron Horse For A Long Train |
| Description: |
Here storming into Long Lake in the early afternoon of the second day of November '07 is this pristine BN-painted (but with "BNSF" initals above the BN logo) wide-nosed SD60 9202. Hope the hogger had a unit with enough ponies horsepower-wise, for it was a long train 9202 had in tow. |

Hello, Hello Again UP Number 720 |
| Description: |
I caught UP 720 on the Golden Valley Industrial Lead job the week before. Now here she is again, at the end of the line just west of Xenium Lane in Plymouth, MN. After a break, the crew will switch the last industry on the line before heading back home. The communications tower to the left is a distinctive landmark in this suburb. |

This and it's companion shot came out a wee bit fuzzy for some reason, maybe the lighting conditions did it.

Missed One? |
| Description: |
I did not expect four units on this job. Resulting in my missing the last unit in this lashup, an ex-Santa Fe blue-and-yellow GP. Or so I thought ... We are in Big Willow Park here. Minnehaha Creek flows under the bridge the train is crossing. |

Waiting At Wayzata |
| Description: |
A trio of Dash-Nines with a splendidly pristine Warbonnet in the lead with an eastbound grain train in tow await the passing of a westbound on the Wayzata siding. This picture was taken near the County Road 15 bridge that connects 15 to Highway 12. |

Stopped On The Main |
| Description: |
Another view of the train that I saw beforehand in Minnetonka. That ex-ATSF GP35 was a honey of a find. Rare to see them on a class 1 as opposed to a shortline these days. |

Heading North |
| Description: |
The CP/SOO 0630 job heads north for Western Avenue yard, then on to Humbolt yard. The old MN&S main is a great place to enjoy branchline-style railroading in the Twin Cities! |

Red And White On The Old Dan Patch Line |
| Description: |
Two veteran Soo 38-2's are the power the crew on today's MNS 0630 job have at their disposal. They are crossing the oft-photographed bridge on the old Minneapolis, Northfield, & Southern mainline spanning the TC&W (ex-Milwaukee Road) and the Three Rivers Park district trail on the old Louie main. The tank cars on the TCW are for a BNSF unit enthanol train whose motive power will arrive later in the day. Speaking of which, that is my bike parked beside the trail. |

Yellowbonnet And Cascade Green |
| Description: |
Post-merger the BNSF was a colorful railroad. With vistas such as these common. Today, thirteen years afterward, they still can be found. Here a pair of veteran 40-2's are the power at the disposal of the crew aboard this eastbound freight departing Wayzata after being briefly stopped for a red signal. Tracks in the foreground are part of the former Dakota Rail interchange. Now used for occasional car storage by the BNSF. |

I've Got To Get Me One Of Those |
| Description: |
I've seen this hybrid BNSF truck/locomotive before. Here it is passing under the MNS bridge over the BNSF pushing a short westbound MOW job. |
