An Eclectic Mix
Title:  An Eclectic Mix
Description:  This and it's companion shot came out a wee bit fuzzy for some reason, maybe the lighting conditions did it. Anyay, the MP15 sandwiched between the Dash Nine and 40-2 is a bit of extra freight for the crew on this westbound general manifest racing through Long Lake, for it will be dropped off in Willmar.

Memorial Day train to Minneapolis
Title:  Memorial Day train to Minneapolis
Description:  I title this shot of this eastbound freight this way because I was listening to that great oldie "Midnight Train To Georgia" when it appeared! Yet another glut of power moving through the western suburbs, six units worth.

Minneapolis Ho!
Title:  Minneapolis Ho!
Description:  For a minute or two this train was stopped by red signals facing west until the signal on the main track facing east was turned on to red, allowing this eastbound to continue its last lap into Minneapolis. Some of the units doubtless were along for the ride not providing power, as in at least the case of the MP15.

BNSF 1804
Title:  BNSF 1804
Description:  Not always you can find an MP15 and an SD40-2 lashed together out on the Wayzata sub. Orginally I thought the 1804 was an ex-Frisco unit, only to learn from a fellow member it wasn't. Oh well ...

Title:  Old Units At The Shop

So Long, Switcher
Title:  So Long, Switcher
Description:  As a freight rolls south, passing the Northtown diesel shop, this veteran switcher awaits its final disposition. Judging by the painted out "swoosh" logo, 3703's retirement was fairly recent.

From Logos To Initials
Title:  From Logos To Initials
Description:  This switcher has traded its "swoosh" logo for "GN" initials as she waits at the Northtown diesel shop while a freight rolls south on a lovely Friday afternoon.
