Echo Of The Rockets |
| Description: |
The inbound "Iowa Rail Ramber" put on by High Iron Tours heads across Biscayne Avenue with UP 4101 in the lead. Note how full the back part of the Caritas is, and the glimpse on the left of the former Santa Fe full-length dome in the consist. The train has just left the former joint RI/MILW trackage stretching from Rosemount to Comus, MN and is back on wholly former Rock Island track. |

Far from the ex-C&NW |
| Description: |
These UP units are in Minnesota but are far from the ex-C&NW rails they normally traverse. Today they are the motive power for a short BNSF train consisting of empty ex-BN and AT&SF ballast hoppers. The crew got stopped by red signals in Long Lake for about thirty minutes or so until they finally got cleared on through. |

UP SD70M 4926 and SD60M 2357 awaiting assignment at East Minneapolis yard. I had to find a perspective from the western side due to that being where the sun was in the afternoon, and voila. Here is this portrait of big Uncle Pete power. |
