There You Are |
| Description: |
Coming home from work, I spotted the Union Pacific's Plymouth local near Medicine Lake, hastened home to get my camera, and headed on up to Olympic Steel in Plymouth. I wondered where the train had gone at first, but then, as I crossed the spur into Olympic, I spotted the train. |

Crossing The Marsh |
| Description: |
In the tiny suburb of Medicine Lake, Minnesota, the Union Pacific's Plymouth branch (officially the Golden Valley Industrial Lead) crosses a marsh on a long bridge. I had long wanted to photograph a train on this bridge from the neighboring Luce Line Trail span, and I finally got lucky this day! Note the bicyclist (another railfan?) videoing the passage of the eastbound local early on a Friday evening in late August. |

Wow! |
| Description: |
I have never seen a six-axle unit on the Union Pacific's Plymouth branch, much less as the sole power for the local. Always nice to catch one of the older SD models, especially on a big road like UP. (You can see my shadow in the bottom right corner, btw! :-) ) |

The hogger takes the Union Pacific local back to the main track after switching cars at Olympic Steel early on a Friday evening in late August. |
