LNG Test Set
Title:  LNG Test Set
Description:  BNSF's experimental liquid natural gas test set currently operating in between Northtown and Duluth reposes beneath remarkably clear and mild early March skies. I can't see railroads going back to tenders of any sort for their locomotives, do you? Still, this set is quite photogenic to say the least.

Frosty Trees And Pumpkins
Title:  Frosty Trees And Pumpkins
Description:  Close up of the lead units on a stopped eastbound freight I came across on a foggy and frosty February 1st, 2016. I find it interesting that the 5815 is labeled as a "dual fuel" unit.

BNSF 933501 And 2577
Title:  BNSF 933501 And 2577
Description:  The tank car (coupled to BNSF 5815) and this older unit hitching a ride to Minneapolis from Willmar were part of the head end lashup on an eastbound BNSF freight I came across after the dispatcher stopped the train in town. I wonder if the crew on the lead unit took time to admire the hoar frost on the nearby trees?

Wow, That Is Different!
Title:  Wow, That Is Different!
Description:  This unique lashup was on the head end of a stopped eastbound freight in Long Lake. I thought they only used two new units for the LNG units? Only the second unit from the left is clearly marked as such.
