Lots O' Power! |
| Description: |
BNSF loves to shuffle units from Willmar to the Twin Cities (and vice versa) by thoughtfully including them on the head end of trains. Most of the units you see here are hitching a ride (i.e., they are not powered up) but they still make an impressive sight as this eastbound freight approaches the County 15/Highway 12 bridge. |

LNG Test Set |
| Description: |
BNSF's experimental liquid natural gas test set currently operating in between Northtown and Duluth reposes beneath remarkably clear and mild early March skies. I can't see railroads going back to tenders of any sort for their locomotives, do you? Still, this set is quite photogenic to say the least. |

"Gotcha" |
| Description: |
"Gotcha" I said as I got out of my car to snap photos of this stopped eastbound freight on the Wayzata Subdivision. The crew was waiting, as usual, for clearance into Minneapolis. The shot I took using the flash setting turned out to be best, hence the funky glow on the sign and the nose of the KCS unit. |

Lehigh Valley Unit Where Art Thou? |
| Description: |
I came to Northtown on St. Patrick's Day 2015 in search of Norfolk Southern's Lehigh Valley heritage unit, which was reported as being on a Northtown bound train. Either it was hidden away near the diesel shop or had already departed by the time I took this still impressive pic. Note the unit smoking things up in the left foreground. |

Waitin' At West Wayzata |
| Description: |
I don't know why the Long Lake end of the siding between Wayzata and here on the Wayzata sub is named "West Wayzata." It is here that the crew of this westbound empty coal train waits aboard their charges for an eastbound to clear. |

Headin' For The Rain |
| Description: |
The westbound coal train departs. Soon, the crew will have to turn the wiper blades of the 9346 on when they encounter a band of rain showers that was approaching Long Lake when I snapped this picture. |

Mexican Standoff |
| Description: |
A westbound BNSF (empty) unit coal train waits at "West Wayzata" for an eastbound blocked by red signals to clear. Another eastbound had been waiting on the main track for the coal train and had just cleared by the time I arrived. Sadly, as I was heading down to catch the eastbound, it started up. And I missed it by a hairs breath. |

Big Lashup |
| Description: |
A westbound BNSF mixed merchandise freight heads up the east leg of the wye at Division Street with no less than five units on the head end. Perhaps at least two of these were simply hitching a ride and the engineer had three units for power? (Next time I will try sitting atop a picnic bench at the railfan park here to try to get above the fence for a zoom shot, by the way.) |
