Both of BNSF's ex-BN SD60 "whiteface" units were at Northtown this day. The 1405 was sitting alone near the turntable, making for this great roster shot. |

Veteran BN Duo At Highway 280 |
| Description: |
BNSF's veteran SD60 duo approaches Highway 280 as the crew takes them up to Northtown on a light power move. Note the sand train in the right background at Union Yard. I am not sure if that was the train's final destination, but it had stopped there for the moment after it passed Midway yard. |

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. |

Oldies And A Newbie |
| Description: |
The second, third, and fourth unit of a stopped eastbound freight revealed a mix of old and news. The angle of the evening sun forced me to break off trying to get all four of the units on this job, but three is enough, especially if two are ex-Santa Fe and BN, respectively! :-) |

The Burlington Northern lives! |
| Description: |
God bless the BNSF for how they have taken their time in repainting ex-BN units. The result is sights like this veteran BN lashup on an eastbound freight stopped by a red signal in Long Lake, MN. The dispatcher held them here for a couple hours, and then let the crew go ahead. |

BN units!!!! |
| Description: |
Man, it has been a while since I bagged some ex-BN units still wearing ex-BN paint in Long Lake! These three six-axle gems were on the point of an eastbound freight stopped by red signals. Dig those loads of scrap in the two gondolas behind them! |

SD60s! |

A close-up view of the bentonite train's power. Interesting that the BNSF has lowered the numbering sequence on their former BN SD60Ms from the 9000 series to an 8000. |

Eastbound Bentonite Job Taking The Hole |
| Description: |
An eastbound bentonite train takes the hole in Long Lake. However, the train was just a wee bit too long for the siding. Which necessitated the westbound BNSF Employee Appreciation special having to stop so the bentonite job could pull out at the Wayzata end of the siding and clear the tracks. |

The Faded Emblem |

Here comes a westbound freight that has just met two eastbounds at the siding in Long Lake. The faded BN emblem on the SD60's nose is a poigant remilder of the fading of the Burlington Northern's legacy into the BNSF. |

One Iron Horse For A Long Train |
| Description: |
Here storming into Long Lake in the early afternoon of the second day of November '07 is this pristine BN-painted (but with "BNSF" initals above the BN logo) wide-nosed SD60 9202. Hope the hogger had a unit with enough ponies horsepower-wise, for it was a long train 9202 had in tow. |

BNSF Eastbound Unit Coal Train |
| Description: |
There goes former BN SD60M 9284 and BNSF Warbonnet SD75M 8297 on the point of an eastbound unit coal train in Long Lake beneath grey March skies. The contrast between the Cascade Green and the red and silver is quite colorful, and a treat for the eye. Of course, if they had moved the BNSF tracks over any further, we would have street running in this part of town! The train is on the new alignment that allowed MNDOT to take over the old GN right of way for their Highway 12 bypass. |
