A Spectacular Find!
Title:  A Spectacular Find!
Description:  End of active ex-Soo Line track in Poskin revealed a spectacular find for me: this trio of units, the star of which was, of course, the (regrettably CN-ized) IC unit.

Star At End Of Track
Title:  Star At End Of Track
Description:  The star of my catch here sits right at the end of active ex-Soo Line track. From here to Dresser the old Soo Line is either inactive or a trail. I wish CN had not put the "wet noodle" logo on the back end of this unit.

Thuroughbred Stampede
Title:  Thuroughbred Stampede
Description:  A westbound mixed freight with NS units for power stampedes for the signals at the western end of the siding that stretches from east Long Lake to western Wayzata. Alas, I was unable to get the number of the NS unit trailing the 2570. Anybody know what model it is?

Charging For Wayzata
Title:  Charging For Wayzata
Description:  Away goes this Norfolk Southern trio. Racing for the Luce Line trail bridge and the Wayzata/Long Lake border. Behind the NS 2591 are a pair of plaine-jane NS SD70s. On days like these you'd think you were east of Chicago on the old Conrail lines rather than in the Gopher State, which is just fine by this railfan. Why go to the railroad when the railroad can come to you, hey?
