Apartment Railfanning
Title:  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.

Uncle Pete At Division Street
Title:  Uncle Pete At Division Street
