Midway
Title:  Midway
Description:  BNSF Midway Intermodal yard sign and motive power, the latter of which was beginning to back up in a switching move as I snapped this shot, which was a "take two" of one I'd done a minute earlier that didn't turn out as good.

What Are You Two Doing Here?
Title:  What Are You Two Doing Here?
Description:  I got this shot of the Midway yard power from the Amtrak/Friends Of The 261 fall color trip to Winona as we eased through Union Yard. However, these units appear to have shoved a cut of COFC cars right down into the Union Pacific's East Minneapolis yard, as the NS units in the left background indicate.

Midway's yard goats
Title:  Midway's yard goats
Description:  The yard power at BNSF Midway yard rests in between switching baretables. Is the 1896 a former "tunnel motor"? The long nose seems to indicate so.
