Rumbling Past The Soccer Games |
| Description: |
An eastbound CP freight with a ES44AC and an older dash-nine whose number I didn't get for power rumbles by Bandana Square and the soccer games going on across the way at Como Park on a sunny Saturday evening in July. |

First Of 2011! |
| Description: |
My first catch of 2011 turned out to be this westbound freight crossing Pinto Drive as the hogger let 'em roll down the CP/Soo Paynesville sub beneath grey late winter skies. I was surprised to see the NS unit. |

Watching Us Go By |
| Description: |
A crewmember stands by the lead of two GE's on point of a northbound CP job which took the siding for the southbound fall color trip. We actually are a few clicks north of Red Wing at either Blackbird or Duke sidings. |

These three units on the point of an eastbound freight just shouts the name of the road as it passes Bandana. |

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. |

Passing The Overflow Parking |
| Description: |
It's not just Saints games trains pass in the Midway on weekends; here a train I've been informed was CP's Chicago-Vancouver train 199 -made up strictly of autoracks followed by COFC on baretables- passes one of several automobiles parked on BNSF property due to overflow from street parking for soccer games taking place at Como Park this Saturday evening. |
