Wow! |
| Description: |
Feeling my photography slid into the mediocre during a railfan jaunt the day before, I wanted to try my luck again. Lo and behold: I came upon this lashup at Northtown Yard's north throat. Power belonged to a freight that had arrived and was getting its cars switched into the yard. Since some of these units were not operating and thus "along for the ride", I suspect this train came from Willmar. |

Lots O' Power! |
| Description: |
BNSF loves to shuffle units from Willmar to the Twin Cities (and vice versa) by thoughtfully including them on the head end of trains. Most of the units you see here are hitching a ride (i.e., they are not powered up) but they still make an impressive sight as this eastbound freight approaches the County 15/Highway 12 bridge. |

Third Time's The Charm |
| Description: |
I had to make three tries to catch this train, finally bagging it from the links of the Wayzata Country Club (which was closed this day despite the early spring weather we were enjoying). This train had entered neighboring Long Lake and briefly stopped before taking the siding. No train immediately passed going west, so I suspect this train's crew was low on their hours of service and had to stop to await a relief crew. |

Long Train On The Siding |
| Description: |
Some of the eastbound trains on the Wayzata Sub that take uhe siding at Wayzata are so short the head end power does not come to a stop down by the County 15 bridge, which makes for lousy photo angles. Today, however, a big, long eastbound freight had to come all the way down to County 15, which made it an easy catch. |

Bright lights, big train |
| Description: |
My Olympus point and shoot has been picking up the headlight glare a bit too well at times. So here comes an easttbound BNSF job best summed up as "bright lights, big train" as it splits the signals. |

Heading Back To Northtown |
| Description: |
I just looked this BNSF unit up after I posted this since it wasn't in any of my guides. So BNSF 7730 is a newfangled ES44DC. Huh. She and NS 9-40CW 9545 are passing the Milwaukee 261's home at Minneapolis Junction after being turned there and are now going back to Northtown Yard. |

You can talk about the Minnesota Fishing Opener, but National Train Day is *my* "fishing opener," my friends! Here is my first catch of the Train Day weekend, a westbound BNSF grain train rolling through Long Lake at a smart clip. |

Light Power Move |
| Description: |
A light power move heads through University early on a July afternoon. I wonder why so many CP units are on the BNSF? |

Light Power To Northtown |
| Description: |
A mix of BNSF and CP units runs light into Northtown on a fine July afternoon. This move must have come from St. Paul, judging by the CP unit. |

Nice Touch |
| Description: |
A BNSF-ized Grinstein Green unit was third of five units on an eastbound freight that was briefly stopped in Long Lake. I remember when these babies were brand new. How time rolls as fast as the "Hiawatha." |
