Double Wow! |
| Description: |
I do not know if this was a Canadian Pacific detour or not. I do know it was parked on the Wayzata siding for two days, however. I have no clue as to why. |

Got One Of These At Last! |
| Description: |
Indiana Railroads' ex-Soo Line SD60s are often visitors to the Gopher State. I caught one at last on a recent visit to Northtown Yard, in the company of a veteran CP unit. |

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. |

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. |

Nice Catch |
| Description: |
I came upon a stopped northbound Canadian Pacific freight just south of Van Cleve Park on the BNSF on a fairly seasonable Monday afternoon. I have no idea if this train was going to the Paynesville Sub, Northtown, or Duluth, but the motive power the crew had made it quite a nice catch. |
