Still Gawking
Title:  Still Gawking
Description:  "Disaster strikes!" goes a title card in the movie THE WRONG BOX when two trains crash into each other. Same could be said for the messy derailment which covered this area only four days previously. Folks were still out checking out the cleared-up scene west of the Ferndale Road grade crossing as this westbound freight grandly paraded past with a "BNSF"-ized warbonnet leading an H-1 sister dash-nine. Note the churned-up earth remaining from the derailment and the fresh rails and ballast on the siding where it happened.

Derailment?  What Derailment?
Title:  Derailment? What Derailment?
Description:  A westbound freight passes a parked MOW job in a chance in a million moment for me. I didn't plan to get the BN hack into the shot, it happened by pure chance! They sure did a rush (but good) job getting the siding back into action after the calamity of the coal train derailment on June 30th, 2010.

A Hard Portrait To Get
Title:  A Hard Portrait To Get
Description:  Buckets of rain has made for lavish plant growth along the Wayzata sub down near the County 15/Highway 12 bridge. This was the best portriat I couild get of these units on the point of a stopped eastbound freight in the hole at Wayzata. Maybe I should have tried to photograph them from the grounds of the school across the street?

Warbonnet!
Title:  Warbonnet!
Description:  I love it whenever Warbonnets pass by on the Wayzata sub, even BNSF-ized ones from 1996.
