Departing Union Yard
Title:  Departing Union Yard
Description:  An eastbound BNSF transfer (to CP I think?) heads out of Union Yard after being stopped by the dispatcher. I hated having to shoot into the sun, but the light settings on my Olympus Accura helped some.

First Catch Of 2019
Title:  First Catch Of 2019
Description:  My first catch of 2019 was this eastbound freight stopped for a red signal in Long Lake. The catch was easy as pie, because the hogger had parked this impressive lashup right across from my apartment complex.

Golden Oldies
Title:  Golden Oldies
Description:  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.
