Running Light Across 394 |
| Description: |
The#northbound CP local crosses 394 as the crew runs light back to Humboldt Yard just before 8 A.M. on Veteran's Day 2015. I remember the Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern-era bridge which used to stand here until massive highway improvements during the mid-1980s (?) resulted in the span you see here. |

I Finally Caught A Train Here! |
| Description: |
I have long wanted to photograph a train on the spur track which branches off the MNS Spur north of Laurel Avenue and runs west to Liberty Carton. Today was my lucky day. Here the CP local shoves west on the spur with boxcar loads for Liberty Carton Company on a blustery Wednesday morning in mid-November. |

Bound For Shoreham? |
| Description: |
I found these units coupled to some loaded COFC flats at the east end of Humboldt Yard this morning. I later saw a stopped COFC train near Shoreham Yard. Was this a train bound for Shoreham? Note the stopped westbound train in the background. |
