Waiting To Roll
Title:  Waiting To Roll
Description:  The crew aboard a westbound ethanol (?) train waiting at Highway 100 on the Paynesville Subdivision waits to roll on a lovely evening on the last day of June, 2024. I foresee snappy new CPKC paint (with CP sublettering) is in the 8024's future.

Pay Attention Kids
Title:  Pay Attention Kids
Description:  The two boys down to the right belonged to a total group of five or six I saw come up to the fence by the Bandana Parking garage and proceed to start going through a hole in it and across the tracks right as that CP job was coming! I shouted a warning, but they didn't listen. Luckily the first batch of three or four got across while the other two sensibly waited after finally waking up to the oncoming Big Bad Beaver Rail job. Guys; never try to cross tracks when a train is inbound! A trip to the soccer fields isn't worth a trip to the hospital or funeral home.

A CP Job Rolling North On The Old NP
Title:  A CP Job Rolling North On The Old NP
Description:  I do not know if this is the Northtown transfer that I caught or a train en route to Superior. All I know was the lashup was quite colorful for the CP in the Midway. Usually I am not this lucky and only get GE's like the 8567.

Waiting At Loretto
Title:  Waiting At Loretto
Description:  CP AC4400's 8615 and 9656 are the motive power on a eastbound train that arrived in Loretto shortly before I arrived this day and soon pulled down the siding to by a dirt parking lot by the tracks where a taxi showed up with a relief crew, as this town is a CP crew change point. The relief sure got to see a cool show when the CP Empress 4-6-4 Hudson stormed through with an excursion to Glenwood, MN. A shot of her passing these units can be found in my "Steam Trains" photo album.

Title:  Three Drab, One Fresh
Description:  Another view of this five unit string of GEs I found at Humboldt Yard on a gray Friday afternoon. Four are drab, but the fifth, second from the right, the 9558, is resplendent. Must be out of the paint shop by only a few months.

Dual-Flags On The Midway Sub
Title:  Dual-Flags On The Midway Sub
Description:  I think this is a train from Duluth/Superior, but it could also be the CP-BNSF Northtown transfer. Whatever job it was I caught this day, here it is rolling down the old NP main. Now the BNSF Midway subdivision. The bridge carrying the U of M transitway over the line is in the distance. Beyond that, the Saints stadium.

Eastbound CP Train In Medina
Title:  Eastbound CP Train In Medina
Description:  CP ES44AC 8840 and AC4400 9560 wheel an eastbound grain or potash (could not tell which) train through the Hamel area of Medina, MN (Hamel once was it's own town but later merged with Medina though retained it's local name). Also was taken by surprise by this one, since no whistling is allowed in Hamel, the first warning I got from this and the other train I caught here this day was when the grade crossing gates began to ding!

Title:  Eastbound CP Grain Or Potash Job Passing Bandana Square
Description:  Here comes an eastbound CP grain or potash job with a pair of AC4400CW's bracketing a new ES44-type which is still so brand new it's paint is shiny and relatively grime-free. Note the Space Needle at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in the distance in this photo's right center.

Here Comes The Other Train?
Title:  Here Comes The Other Train?
Description:  Apparently, PSR railroading entails running two trains as one. In the case of this Canadian Pacific job, the first train was a westbound COFC intermodal, and the second was a general freight, each with one unit for power. The trains were westbound on the old Soo Line. Here the second one is nearing the bridge over Northtown Yard.
