New Kids On The Old Milwaukee Road |

Three of TC&W's four new units sit on the siding by the Hopkins depot on a fall-like afternoon in late August. This is the first new power to grace the rails of the old Milwaukee Road Benton Cutoff in quite some time. |

Waiting Guide |
Description: |
TCWR 2010 is manned and ready as its crew waits to guide the Friends of the 261's train to Minneapolis late on a partly cloudy Sunday afternoon. The SWLRT rails in the background gives the illusion that The Hopkins Depot coffeehouse has rails beside it again. |

Well What Do You Know? |
Description: |
"Well what do you know?" I said to myself as I got set to take this shot. I'd thought there would only be parked units down by the old Milwaukee Road Hopkins depot, but this trio of units were active, and they had a cut of cars coupled up to them! |

Old And New |
Description: |
This St. Paul Turn's crew had two new and one older unit for motive power this Saturday. ("New" being recently added to the roster, in TCWR 2014 and 2010's case, and "old" being a roster veteran, in TCWR 2300's case.) |

Here She Comes |
Description: |
My buddy Andy and I were waiting down at a grade crossing enduring the dust kicked up by passing trucks and wondering of the Reubel Turn would move. Suddenly, the engineer sounded the air horn, the ditch lights flashed, and soon the train began to move! |

"Train!" |
Description: |
"Train!" my pal and fellow railfan Andy cried when he spotted the headlights of the Reubel Turn as we headed east on 212 from Olivia this day. Sure enough, the train had paused at Bird Island to switch, resulting in a memorable catch. |
