North Of The Border Trailing Unit |
| Description: |
The conductor has reboarded the 5302 after doing a roll-by inspection of a westbound freight. Now his train is departing with a north of the border unit as its companion. The train itself was a mix of tank cars and covered hoppers. What symbol was this train? |

Along For The Ride To Willmar |
| Description: |
A westbound general freight prepares to "split the signals" as it rumbles through town. Note how exhaust is coming from only the first two units. The other three are along for the ride to Willmar. Note how there are at least two ex-Santa Fe units in this lashup, as well as the KCS unit rolling along far from home rails. |

Rail Train With A Belle |
| Description: |
A rail train parked in the upper northeast side of Humboldt was the primary occupant of this part of the yard late on a Sunday afternoon. The KCS Southern Belle was a nice touch, and provided a vibrant contrast to the two stored CP units left in what was once a long deadline. |

There are second chances in life, my friends. |

There goes a six-unit lashup on the head end of an eastbound general freight. Most, if not all, of these units are coming into the Twin Cities from the BNSF yard at Willmar. I wish I was able to ID all six of these units. The best I can guess is that the ex-BN unit you see is a GP-something still in virtually intact BN paint. |

Wow! |
| Description: |
Feeling my photography slid into the mediocre during a railfan jaunt the day before, I wanted to try my luck again. Lo and behold: I came upon this lashup at Northtown Yard's north throat. Power belonged to a freight that had arrived and was getting its cars switched into the yard. Since some of these units were not operating and thus "along for the ride", I suspect this train came from Willmar. |

Backlit Motive Power |
| Description: |
Nuts. I wish the clouds were over the sun when I snapped this, but time was short. It still looks kinda nice, all things considered. These units were on the point of one of two coal trains stopped on the Wayzata Sub late on this cold, crisp Saturday morning. |

At one end of the stored unit line at Northtown Yard's south end are these two Grinstein Green veterans. I remember when these were top of the line units. Hopefully they have some more miles to roll. |
