Ready, Set ...
Title:  Ready, Set ...
Description:  Minutes after I snapped this shot, the hogger on the 1498 opened up the throttle to take the train east across Xenium Lane and leave Plymouth behind for the day, headed for Minneapolis. Note the ex-Mo Pac coil car, the first of three strung out ahead of the nose of the 1498.

Stuck The Old Neck Out For This One
Title:  Stuck The Old Neck Out For This One
Description:  I had to sneak down to get this shot of the 1498 by the downtown New Prague grain elevator as it wasn't up by the depot like I'd hoped. I admit I stuck my neck out but I got away with it. Oddly enough, a derailer was set up ahead of the unit! What for I have no clue.

Good Stuff, But No Thoroughbreds Today
Title:  Good Stuff, But No Thoroughbreds Today
Description:  Usually you can find a couple Norfolk Southern diesels parked here at East Minneapolis yard. Today was an exception, but these two units made for a decent consolation prize.
