E-Unit In The Eden |
| Description: |
E-units hauling "The Olympian Hiawatha" once rolled through Eden Prairie. This weekend they finally returned in the form of Milwaukee 32A (nee WSOR 101). An E-unit in the Eden is a sight to see, folks. |

E-Unit And A 4-8-4 |
| Description: |
The eastbound "Gourmet Express" nears Shady Oak Road, minutes from its destination, St. Louis Park. I never dared dream I would get an E-unit and a 4-8-4 in the same shot, not to mention no less than three dome cars! |

Train And A Bridge |
| Description: |
The west end of the Loram special run by the 261 group faces the venerable bridge over the old Milwaukee Road/Minneapolis & St. Louis corridor. The cranes working on the removal of a bridge on the old Louie, long since a trail, testify to the massive changes in store with the coming of the co-location of freight rail with the Southwest LRT. In fact, the old Milwaukee at left will be replaced by the LRT at the spot, so this vista is a snapshot of not only what is to come but also what was. |
