Waiting For An Eastbound |
| Description: |
The crew aboard this westbound grain train waits for an eastbound general merchandise job to arrive and take the siding before proceeding west. Only the crew was BNSF -- the engines and cars were all CSX. Was this a run-through job? |

Through A Lense Backlit |
| Description: |
An eastbound freight crawls into Long Lake about to stop on the Wayzata sub for an hour. I wish the clouds could've blocked the sun long enough to filter the sunlight a little. At least the picture didn't turn out too backlit. |

Sittin' On The Track Named "Main" |
| Description: |
A common occurence along the Wayzata sub in Long Lake is trains stopping on the main track on the other side of the sound wall bordering Orchard Lane on the south side of the New 12/BNSF corridor until it is clear to head on into Minneapolis. Such happened to be the case with this eastbound job today. The guy looking at me in the mini-van probably wondered: "Just what is that guy doing on that hill taking pictures of a train?" |

My Fifth Train Of 2010! |
| Description: |
The fifth catch I've made so far this year while squeezing railfanning into my busy life apparently hauled ethanol. Behind the ex-ATSF hopper barely visible to the right was a long string of tank cars. |

Wow! |
| Description: |
Feeling my photography slid into the mediocre during a railfan jaunt the day before, I wanted to try my luck again. Lo and behold: I came upon this lashup at Northtown Yard's north throat. Power belonged to a freight that had arrived and was getting its cars switched into the yard. Since some of these units were not operating and thus "along for the ride", I suspect this train came from Willmar. |

CSX 7688 |
| Description: |
Roster shot. Unit was second of six on a freight. You know, I find seeing CSX units in Vikingland fitting, given how CSX's current management is striving to make the railroad the Minnesota Vikings of the railroad world, but I digress. |

One More For Spring Fever Week |
| Description: |
I was able to indulge in a "spring fever" week of railfanning thanks to warmer than normal March temperatures. My last catch of the week was the eastbound CSX/BNSF grain train, seen here heading for the Luce Line overpass and points east. |
