| Description: |
Well, once I saw this I knew why there was a lack of trains on the BN! While I find these to be pretty boring, I knew I should get a picture of it since one day it won't be around. |

Old NP Passenger Main |
| Description: |
The old NP passenger main to the Great Northern Depot has been reduced to a single track dead end spur on the other end of the river. This line was still double tracked well into the 80s and saw coal trains. Now it only sees the Grove Job. |

On the former NP |
| Description: |
The Grove Job heads over the former NP Mainline to service one of the last remaining customers on this part of the line. As you can see, this line used to be double tracked and still saw coal trains up until the late 70s/early 80s. |

Northtown-Superior Surprise |
| Description: |
Of all days for the weather to be crappy, BNSF decides to pair up a pair of SD40-2s to take a train onto the road! Here the 8012 and 1994 get ready to move at 44th. I tried to chase this train, but a few things came up, mainly college class in an hour and rain. |

The 8029 displays two American flags on its cab as it goes to grab another cut of cars to hump. I love the flags on this unit. |
