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.

Wow!
Title:  Wow!
Description:  There are some spur tracks located off the BNSF Midway Sub serving some industries located on the northeast side of Kasota Avenue. I came upon this baby quite by chance. This local had a former BN center cupola caboose on the hind end. Alas, it was too out of position for me to photograph.
