The Yard Goats, I Presume |
| Description: |
Ex-Soo Line unit 6222 and a GP20 ECO sit in Humboldt's west end on the eve of Labor Day weekend 2020. I presume these units are the yard goats at the moment. |

CP/MNNR Transfer |
| Description: |
I first spotted this train when I was down by the MNNR roundhouse. I headed up to the former Amtrak Midway station to be in position when it passed by. The train pulled up and stopped for a short while, enabling me to snap this and a few other pics of the train. |

Crew change at Pig's Eye |
| Description: |
I do believe th—s is a CP/ICE train that is picture here getting a crew change at Pig's Eye yard. The CP seems to be keeping some of the ex-Soo Line SD60s in service judging by the brand-oew paint on the 6234. |

Last two of a quartet |
| Description: |
The third and fourth units of a four unit quartet I caught pulling up in the Pig's Eye engine terminal. CP sure must intened to hang on to the rest of their ex-Soo SD60s if they are repainting 'em. |

Sixties! |
| Description: |
The crew of this CP freight had a pair of SD60s as the lead units. I love those classic EMDs. These babies are also former Soo Line units, which adds to their appeal for me. |

Nice Catch |
| Description: |
I came upon a stopped northbound Canadian Pacific freight just south of Van Cleve Park on the BNSF on a fairly seasonable Monday afternoon. I have no idea if this train was going to the Paynesville Sub, Northtown, or Duluth, but the motive power the crew had made it quite a nice catch. |
