A Celebratory Catch |
| Description: |
A letter I submitted to the editor of Trains Magazine has been published in their November 2015 edition! :-) I figured, 'What better way to celebrate this success than with catching a train?" This eastbound unit oil train racing through Long Lake thus proved to be my celebratory catch. |

Northbound On The Midway |

A northbound unit oil train rumbles up the Midway Subdivision. I later spotted this same train stopped south of Northtown Yard, in the company of a unit gondola train which had preceded it. |

Should Have Waited A Second More |

If I had waited a second more, I would have gotten all three of these units on the point of a northbound unit oil train in the frame. |

Apartment Railfanning |
| Description: |
I live pretty close to the BNSF Wayzata Sub, and I finally discovered how decent a vantage point my apartment can make. And so, early on a rainy evening in early May, I bagged this departing eastbound grain train which had an interesting mix of motive power at the crew's disposal. |
