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. |

I have long wanted to photograph a train traveling on the MNS Spur at Valley Lane in Edina. This morning my dream came true! I find it interesting that today's 0630 is a mix of old and new power after chasing one earlier this month which had a matched pair of ECO GP20Cs for power. |
