Soo/Milwaukee
Title:  Soo/Milwaukee
Description:  A former Milwaukee Road "bandit" GP40 sits at the head of a quartet of SD60s on the south side of the engine service area at Pig's Eye. The fluttering wind socket is indicative of the sharp winds blowing at the head of a band of rain approaching St. Paul this day.

Description:  Here comes a pair of Soo Line SD60's en route to Northtown yard with today's CP/BNSF transfer run. Nice to see not all of them have been sent to Indiana and the new short line running on former Milwaukee/Soo track there.

Description:  Here comes a colorful lashup at the head of another MOW-related train entering Wayzata. This is the first older BNSF unit I've seen in action this year. The Soo Line unit was ` delightful treat.

Passing The Old Dakota Rail Interchange
Title:  Passing The Old Dakota Rail Interchange
Description:  The MOW train with a mixture of older ex-BN and Soo power passes the old Dakota Rail interchange. Now used for occasional car storage by the BNSF. Sad to relate: I did not know there was a classic ex-BN caboose on the hind end of this job until I looked up from my notes in time to see it rolling around the bend. Better luck next time, I suppose.
