Empire Builder |
| Description: |
The daily Amtrak Empire Builder snakes though Saint Anthony as it comes onto the MNNRs track and under Raymond Ave. Within just a few minutes, it will be at the Midway Station and on its way toward Chicago. Thankfully, I was able to be down here at this time to get this shot because I had to drop my brother off at the state fair grounds just minutes earlier. |

ACe'd it! |
| Description: |
After hearing that there would be a meet on the BNSF at East Winona, we headed over to shoot the expected BNSF trains. Sure enough they both showed up, BUT too fast. About a minute after this eastbound came by a westbound roared by on the other which ruined the opportunity for a great shot in nice light. Oh well, you can't win them all! |
