GP10!
Title:  GP10!
Description:  I remember seeing the TC&W's GP10s in action shortly after they began operations. Padcuah Geeps are cool, but I only ever got a few shots of the TC&W ones until most of them left the roster. The last two later wound up on affiliate Red River Valley and Western. Lo and behold: look what the middle unit was on this train in from the west end!

In From The West End
Title:  In From The West End
Description:  I do not know which train this is, but it was --obviously-- in from the west end of the TC&W system. Was this a MPLI job?

RRVW 406
Title:  RRVW 406
Description:  This unit was idling at the Hopkins depot in the company of two newer units. I fondly remember TC&W's GP10s. I could not have asked for a better Christmas present than to photograph one of those veteran units on Christmas Day 2015!

Parked On The Prairie
Title:  Parked On The Prairie
Description:  I came upon a parked train just west of Winthrop on an usually gray August Sunday afternoon. The engines were shut down and no crew were in sight. Going home later in the day, I saw the train was still there. What's the story?

Bingo!
Title:  Bingo!
Description:  I netted a prize with this parked train: Red River Valley & Western's former Minnesota Prairie Line/Twin Cities & Western GP10! The 4301 was an old friend nice to see again too. I wonder why a whole train was parked just west of town with no crew and the engines shut down?
