Easter Train!!!! |
| Description: |
I had been having a dry spell catch-wise over my three day Easter weekend holiday. But Easter evening I hit paydirt first with this eastbound freight which was slowly entering Long Lake to take the siding so as to meet a westbound which soon became my second catch. Brown Road is the bridge in the distance. |

Charging For Wayzata |
| Description: |
Away goes this Norfolk Southern trio. Racing for the Luce Line trail bridge and the Wayzata/Long Lake border. Behind the NS 2591 are a pair of plaine-jane NS SD70s. On days like these you'd think you were east of Chicago on the old Conrail lines rather than in the Gopher State, which is just fine by this railfan. Why go to the railroad when the railroad can come to you, hey? |

Another eastbound had been waiting on the main track for the coal train and had just cleared by the time I arrived. Sadly, as I was heading down to catch the eastbound, it started up. And I missed it by a hairs breath. |

Bound For A Red Signal |
| Description: |
Around the curve which starts beneath the Brown Road bridge in the distance a set of red signals awaits the crew of this eastbound manifest. They were stopped, however, for only a short duration before getting clearance to move again. It seems the trailing dash-nine is badly in need of a new coat of paint. Wonder when she will recieve one? Note the ex- CNW ribside hopper behind her. |

Droppin' Downgrade |

The hogger on this eastbound freight glides his train downgrade from Orono into Long Lake on an early November Saturday that feels more like spring than fall. I especially like this view from the Willow Drive bridge for how it captures the grade and nearby curve in the background on this stretch of track. |

Warbonnets Under Brown Road |
| Description: |
Wonder if the driver headed the opposite way on the Highway 12 bypass knows that paint scheme dates back to the 1935s? |

Caliente, CA, Or Long Lake, MN? |
| Description: |
If it weren%t for the BNSF numbers, this freight would look right at home at Caliente in the Golden State en route to the "loop" at Tehachapi, rather than charging for Willmar on the Wayzata su in Gopher Land. |

From Cabooses To DPUs |
| Description: |
There used to be cabooses of all sizes and types bringing up the rear on coal trains around the country. Now they've got DPUs like this BNSF ES44. Note the FRED on the 5804's rear coupler. |

Eastbound Black Diamonds |

I got so engrossed in a novel I was reading I almost missed this eastbound coal train rolling through Long Lake for an hour's wait in Wayzata for a westbound coal train to pass. |

Through A Lense Backlit |
| Description: |
An eastbound freight crawls into Long Lake about to stop on the Wayzata sub for an hour. I wish the clouds could've blocked the sun long enough to filter the sunlight a little. At least the picture didn't turn out too backlit. |

Sittin' On The Track Named "Main" |
| Description: |
A common occurence along the Wayzata sub in Long Lake is trains stopping on the main track on the other side of the sound wall bordering Orchard Lane on the south side of the New 12/BNSF corridor until it is clear to head on into Minneapolis. Such happened to be the case with this eastbound job today. The guy looking at me in the mini-van probably wondered: "Just what is that guy doing on that hill taking pictures of a train?" |

My Fifth Train Of 2010! |
| Description: |
The fifth catch I've made so far this year while squeezing railfanning into my busy life apparently hauled ethanol. Behind the ex-ATSF hopper barely visible to the right was a long string of tank cars. |
