Second Catch Of The Day |
| Description: |
My second, and final, catch of the day was another eastbound freight the dispatcher had pause in Long Lake before clearing the crew to proceed. The engineer thoughtfully parked the engines where I could easily photograph them from my apartment. Having last been in CSX country way back in 1994 (long story), seeing CSX units is always a treat out this way. |

Waiting For An Eastbound |
| Description: |
The crew aboard this westbound grain train waits for an eastbound general merchandise job to arrive and take the siding before proceeding west. Only the crew was BNSF -- the engines and cars were all CSX. Was this a run-through job? |

One Colorful Lashup! |
| Description: |
The crew of this eastbound freight which briefly stopped on the Wayzata Sub out in Long Lake had one colorful lashup for motive power. The HLCX unit is a rare sight since HLCX units are more often found on the Union Pacific in the Twin Cities. |

What Will The Future Hold For The Eastern Railroads? |
| Description: |
The crew aboard this stopped eastbound freight (BNSF? CP?) at Union Junction had engines from both major eastern railroads for power. CSX rejected the advances of a railroad run by a man named E. Hunter Harrison in 2014, but now ol' E.H.H. wants Norfolk Southern. If -and I say if- NS falls into E.H.H.'s orbit, will CSX fall prey to a mega-mega merger too? This was one reason I took two photos of this train today. I have learned through sad experience that you can't take anything for granted as a railfan, and must enjoy every moment trackside as if it is the last day of the iron horse. |
