TC&W St. Paul Turn Passing Under Highway 280.
Title:  TC&W St. Paul Turn Passing Under Highway 280.
Description:  It is late on a fine Saturday morning on the last day in September of 2006, and the daily TC&W Saint Paul turn is packing some serious motive power! TC&W GP30C 4301 is leading a Red River Valley and Western GP15C, and a TCW GP20 and GP30C as the hogger nurses his train past St. Anthony junction and the Minnesota Commercial yard. Note UP's east Minneapolis Yard (which used to be bigger in C&NW days. Way bigger, as I fondly recall from my childhood in the 1980's) in the center distance.

Forbidden Fruits
Title:  Forbidden Fruits
Description:  I deliberately worked the "no trespassing" sign into this shot taken, ironically enough, from public property. In this case, the parking lot for the Skate Park located right under Highway 169 at this point. The building with the dumpster is an addition to the old Milwaukee Road depot building.

St. Paul Turn
Title:  St. Paul Turn
Description:  A close-up of the motive power of the TC&W St. Paul Turn as the engines idle away beneath a grey December sky after the crew had brought the train back to the Hopkins depot after the trip into the Cities. Interesting to note is how TC&W GP20C 3516 is still sporting its "Generation II Locomotives" paint job even after suffering a small fire some time ago.

St. Paul Turn
Title:  St. Paul Turn
Description:  I came upon the St. Paul Turn just after 7 a.m. this day. This impressive lashup would power the train on into Minneapolis/St. Paul proper so TC&W could interchange with the likes of Canadian Pacific.
