RRVW 4101 and friend at Ziegler
Title:  RRVW 4101 and friend at Ziegler
Description:  RRV&W 4101 and either another RRV&W or a TC&W unit are currently at Ziegler CAT. I wonder: does anybody know when these units usually come and go from Ziegler?

Far From The Red River Valley
Title:  Far From The Red River Valley
Description:  Ziegler Cat in Bloomington services Cat engine-equipped engines from both the Twin Cities & Western and the affiliated Red River Valley & Western. On this Monday evening GP15C 4104 sits in repose as a warm day comes to an end. I used the zoom lense on this one. The unit was in for some heavy duty work which required the long hood to be removed.

TC&W St. Paul Turn Passing Under Highway 280.
Title:  TC&W St. Paul Turn Passing Under Highway 280.
Description:  It is late on a fine Saturday morning on the last day in September of 2006, and the daily TC&W Saint Paul turn is packing some serious motive power! TC&W GP30C 4301 is leading a Red River Valley and Western GP15C, and a TCW GP20 and GP30C as the hogger nurses his train past St. Anthony junction and the Minnesota Commercial yard. Note UP's east Minneapolis Yard (which used to be bigger in C&NW days. Way bigger, as I fondly recall from my childhood in the 1980's) in the center distance.

Forbidden Fruits
Title:  Forbidden Fruits
Description:  I deliberately worked the "no trespassing" sign into this shot taken, ironically enough, from public property. In this case, the parking lot for the Skate Park located right under Highway 169 at this point. The building with the dumpster is an addition to the old Milwaukee Road depot building.

St. Paul Turn
Title:  St. Paul Turn
Description:  A close-up of the motive power of the TC&W St. Paul Turn as the engines idle away beneath a grey December sky after the crew had brought the train back to the Hopkins depot after the trip into the Cities. Interesting to note is how TC&W GP20C 3516 is still sporting its "Generation II Locomotives" paint job even after suffering a small fire some time ago.

St. Paul Turn
Title:  St. Paul Turn
Description:  I came upon the St. Paul Turn just after 7 a.m. this day. This impressive lashup would power the train on into Minneapolis/St. Paul proper so TC&W could interchange with the likes of Canadian Pacific.

Here She Comes
Title:  Here She Comes
Description:  My buddy Andy and I were waiting down at a grade crossing enduring the dust kicked up by passing trucks and wondering of the Reubel Turn would move. Suddenly, the engineer sounded the air horn, the ditch lights flashed, and soon the train began to move!

"Train!"
Title:  "Train!"
Description:  "Train!" my pal and fellow railfan Andy cried when he spotted the headlights of the Reubel Turn as we headed east on 212 from Olivia this day. Sure enough, the train had paused at Bird Island to switch, resulting in a memorable catch.
