Wow, What A Group!
Title:  Wow, What A Group!
Description:  This is what I continue to like about the CP: they have quite a colorful collection of diesels, as evidences by this eclectic bunch parked down by the roundhouse and diesel shop at Pig's Eye Yard.

Milwaukee Road And MN&S Vets
Title:  Milwaukee Road And MN&S Vets
Description:  Along Progressive Rail's former MN&S High Line route just west of Lyndale Avenue down by their open-air shops next to Ziegler CAT we find a Milwaukee Road vet in the form of CP GP40 4609 parked idling out on the main track and a Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern vet in the form of PGR SW1500 36 sitting parked shut down on the spur into Ziegler. Nice!

First Catch Of The Year!
Title:  First Catch Of The Year!
Description:  Parked idling outside Ziegler CAT on Progressive Rail's ex-MN&S High Line just west of Lyndale Avenue this day was this ex-Soo Line exx-Milwaukee Road GP40. Not bad for the first railfan catch of the year for me!

Cell Phone Cameras Are Handy
Title:  Cell Phone Cameras Are Handy
Description:  The southbound 0630 continues on down the MNS Spur at Valley Road. I took this and the other pic of the train at Valley Road with my Samsung cell phone. Cell phone cameras can come in handy if you have left your regular one at home, as was the case for me this day.

At Last!
Title:  At Last!
Description:  I have long wanted to photograph a train traveling on the MNS Spur at Valley Lane in Edina. This morning my dream came true! I find it interesting that today's 0630 is a mix of old and new power after chasing one earlier this month which had a matched pair of ECO GP20Cs for power.

CP/Soo Line Fiesta
Title:  CP/Soo Line Fiesta
