Evening Shot of Westminster Tunnel |
| Description: |
This is the longest of the Westminster Tunnels and for 126 years, trains have gone through it, from the old steam days. To the early diesel age of freight and to today's intermodals, freights, grains, Ethanols, coal trains, and taconite trains. From the fallen flags to the currents. The landscape has also changed in those 126 years |

HO Scale or Real? |
| Description: |
Ok, this is a trick question, is this photo real or taken on a HO Scale layout? But both trains meet a bit earlier, the train on the higher track is a UP freight with a SD9043MAC leading a NS Dash 9, a UP (Ex - SP) GP40 - 2 and a HLCX (Former GP40) GP38 - 3, this BNSF freight is lead by a pair of Dash 9s in both the H1 and H2 scheme and a Dash 8 in a fading warbonnet scheme. There is a clue to making this what it might be |

UP 6045 West |
| Description: |
Train #9 appears from the UP tracks and it ends up being a empty NSPX coal train. Four AC4400CWs lead this coal train, my dad believes two of them were up front and the other two were the helpers when it was loaded. What a surprise |

Morning shot of Westminster Tunnel |
| Description: |
In all of Minnesota, there is one place in the Twin Cities where you see a tunnel and that is at Westminster. This tunnel and the smaller tunnels by it were built in 1885 as a joint trackage for the Northern Pacific, Great Northern, and Milwaukee Road. That was over 100 years ago and thankfully by the busy lines of the BNSF, CP Rail, and UP. This tunnel still sees trains daily after 126 years after being built. |
