Golden Oldies |

My visit to Willmar netted these four golden oldies parked near the sand tower. I especially like the 2589 because it retains the classic GP30 look. |

No Opposing Traffic |
| Description: |
Here is a stopped eastbound general freight holding the main track in Long Lake. There was no opposing traffic, judging by the blank eastbound main signal, so congestion in Minneapolis must have been the issue. |

Wow, What A Catch! |
| Description: |
These two classic units were on the point of an eastbound general freight the BNSF dispatcher stopped in Long Lake for almost two hours before being cleared to proceed. The number "1997" is significant to me: it is the first year I began seriously railfanning. |

An Eclectic Mix |
| Description: |
This and it's companion shot came out a wee bit fuzzy for some reason, maybe the lighting conditions did it. Anyay, the MP15 sandwiched between the Dash Nine and 40-2 is a bit of extra freight for the crew on this westbound general manifest racing through Long Lake, for it will be dropped off in Willmar. |
