UP GP38-2L 398 and Crossbuck.          
Union Pacific usually assigns diesels in pairs to work their Golden Valley Industrial Lead (the part of the old Minnesota Western/Minneapolis & St. Louis route out to Hutchinson that was not torn up by the North Western and turned later into the Luce Line trail). Out on a fine Indian Summer November day is Union Pacific GP38-2L 398 and a sister unit completing their day's switching at track's end just past Xenium Lane in Plymouth before grabbing their cars and going home. The crossbuck was too good an element for me to pass up in the composition. Note Plymouth's landmark communications tower in the upper left corner.
