Wyoming To Wisconsin
Title:  Wyoming To Wisconsin
Description:  The "WPSX" reporting marks on the hopper indicates these black diamonds are just passing through the Gopher State en route to the Badger State. Not many coal burning plants left in the Twin Cities anyhow, what with the natural gas fad taking hold at Excel Energy.

Memorial Day train to Minneapolis
Title:  Memorial Day train to Minneapolis
Description:  I title this shot of this eastbound freight this way because I was listening to that great oldie "Midnight Train To Georgia" when it appeared! Yet another glut of power moving through the western suburbs, six units worth.

Minneapolis Ho!
Title:  Minneapolis Ho!
Description:  For a minute or two this train was stopped by red signals facing west until the signal on the main track facing east was turned on to red, allowing this eastbound to continue its last lap into Minneapolis. Some of the units doubtless were along for the ride not providing power, as in at least the case of the MP15.

BNSF 1804
Title:  BNSF 1804
Description:  Not always you can find an MP15 and an SD40-2 lashed together out on the Wayzata sub. Orginally I thought the 1804 was an ex-Frisco unit, only to learn from a fellow member it wasn't. Oh well ...

From Brown Road To Willow Drive
Title:  From Brown Road To Willow Drive
Description:  The empty TOFC flat train I caught stretched from down across from the Red Rooster, under Brown Road, and just past Willow Drive. The flats were bracketed by boxcars. Anyone know what this job was?

BNSF Says This Is "Barry Avenue"
Title:  BNSF Says This Is "Barry Avenue"
Description:  At least it does on the signal power box at the grade crossing on the west side of the depot grounds. "No train horn 10 P.M. to 7 A.M." huh. What if there is a drunk on the tracks here? Can the enginner blast the horn in an emergency? Hope so. Train horns are annoying, yes, but they can save your life too.

After The Rain Fell
Title:  After The Rain Fell
Description:  Coming back from a shopping trip in the rain I heard this locomotive stopped idling behind the sound wall and so hied myself off to make the catch. The 752 was power on an eastbound train consisting mostly of empty Trailer On Flat Car flat cars.

But Wayzata Says This Is Grove Lane East
Title:  But Wayzata Says This Is Grove Lane East
Description:  Barry Avenue starts across the street from here, so perhaps the BNSF is in error saying this is the "Barry Ave" crossing on the power box here. Regardless, the sign about no train horns is the chief reason I took this quiet portrait.

First Catch Here In Awhile!
Title:  First Catch Here In Awhile!
Description:  I had not railfanned in Long Lake itself for months; I just let the trains on the Wayzata sub roll by with only a casual glance now and then. Not so today: here we have two BNSF GE's toting a short string of heavy-duty industrial hoppers (only way I can describe 'em) through town as traffic flows on nearby Hig–way 12. Anybody know what they're hauling is called?

Stopped At "East 12 Spur"
Title:  Stopped At "East 12 Spur"
Description:  I swear, eastbounds stop for the signals on this stretch of the Wayzata sub often enough you might as well name it after the highway sign in the foreground. Today a pair of dash-nines are the ponies the engineer and conductor have at their disposal at the head end of a short general freight that unfolded like this -tank cars, covered hopper cars, three boxcars, then more covered hoppers and tank cars. Anybody know what the symbol of this train was?

Title:  There Goes The DPU
Description:  The DPU unit on an eastbound unit sand or potash train taking the hole at Long Lake emerges from the other side of my pedestrian bridge vantage point as the train nears a stop prior to a meet with two ex-BN SD60s toting a rotary plow/locomotive combo west ... a train I utterly failed to catch due to a couple foul-ups with my camera! Oh well, the light *was* fading since it was near dusk by this time.
