SD60!
Title:  SD60!
Description:  Sure was cool to catch an ex-Soo Line SD60 on the Northfield job this day! Here the veteran unit, which doubtless led the way to Northfield, is now the trailing unit as the hogger gets the train onto the main after completing interchange.

On The Main But Not Departing Yet
Title:  On The Main But Not Departing Yet
Description:  The hogger aboard Canadian Pacific's Northfield job is getting the train clear of the yard in this shot, but the train is not leaving town just yet. The engineer will back the train up once it is on the main and then, once the switch is set back for the main track, back up to pick of the rest of the crew before departure.

Thank You!
Title:  Thank You!
Description:  As the CPKC Shakopee job was preparing to enter Valley Park Yard early on a Saturday evening, the conductor (the gent in the hi-viz vest at left) saw me as he was standing in the road after lining the switch off the main, noticed I was a railfan, and tapped his ears to warn me the air horns were about to sound. Thank you! You are a kind railroader, sir, and a credit to your company.
