Title:  The old and the new
Description:  Steve Sandberg brings the fall color trip back into Wayzata after a trip to Willmar on the BNSF Wayzata sub. Before they made a brief station stop to disembark passengers that had boarded at Wayzata, Steve Sandberg and company wheeled their famous charge past a stopped eastbound freight on the Wayzata siding.

Nothing On The Main Track (Yet)
Title:  Nothing On The Main Track (Yet)
Description:  Since the main track signal visible in the far right corner) is blank, you might assume this eastbound freight had been stopped for no reason. Soon, however, the light will flash green, because Milwaukee Road 261 was chugging eastward from Willmar when this picture was taken.

"Taking The Hole"
Title:  "Taking The Hole"
Description:  An eastbound mixed manifest with a quartet of units (one of them NS) had a crew busy with doing nothing than marking time while "taking the hole" at Wayzata. Just over an hour from now, a spectacular show will pass by on the pain track: Milwaukee Road 261, eastbound for Minneapolis from Willmar.
