TC&W Meet Up? |

As the St. Paul Turn heads east, what to my wondering eyes should appear but two TC&W units running light down at UP East Minneapolis! Are these units the new PTC-equipped engines? |

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. |

Parked On The Prairie |

Bingo! |

I netted a prize with this parked train: Red River Valley & Western's former Minnesota Prairie Line/Twin Cities & Western GP10! The 4301 was an old friend nice to see again too. I wonder why a whole train was parked just west of town with no crew and the engines shut down? |

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. |

GP10! |
| Description: |
I remember seeing the TC&W's GP10s in action shortly after they began operations. Padcuah Geeps are cool, but I only ever got a few shots of the TC&W ones until most of them left the roster. The last two later wound up on affiliate Red River Valley and Western. Lo and behold: look what the middle unit was on this train in from the west end! |

The eastbound St. Paul Turn waits south of Cedar Lake Parkway for a green signal on a gorgeous September Saturday morning. The train is waiting in the southern end of the "bottleneck" which stretches between Cedar Lake and Lake Street along the Kenilworth Corridor, which has been a bone of contention in the "relocate freight rail/co-located freight rail with LRT" debate. |
