Gotcha at last, 2002!
Title:  Gotcha at last, 2002!
Description:  As I was heading east on Central, this unit suddenly appeared and crossed the Minnesota Transfer-vintage bridge that carries the MNNR over the road (and now LRT corridor); since I was bound for the other side of the MNNR Cleveland Avenue roundhouse, I was able to catch this boy after he got there.

Gotcha At Last!
Title:  Gotcha At Last!
Description:  The first time me and my chase buddy Andy had reached Transfer Road intent on photographing MNNR's yard goats, they began backing out of our range! A merry chase saw us back at Transfer Road, where we finally made our catch.
