Rolling By Where There Were Many Tracks Once Upon A Time |
| Description: |
The returning St. Paul Turn lesuirely rolls along at 10 MPH past where, on the left, was once solid tracks in the M&ST.L's Kenwood yard. Today a trail is what occupies most of the site save for a sole surviving mainline track. Making for easy railfanning on public property once privately owned by the Louie and, later, the Chicago and North Western. Interesting to relate: When the Minnesota Valley Railway once interchanged with the Soo and the CNW in this area, their motive power laid over on a now-gone siding in this location awaiting the arrival of the CNW with their portion of the interchange. Shame that short line is now gone. Would loved to have seen that. |

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. |

Idling At The Shops |
| Description: |
TCWR 2301 idles at the Glencoe shops on a sunny (and wonderfully mild!) Saturday afternoon. Sure was nice to see 2301 again after all this time. |

Switching At The Parkway |
| Description: |
One of the Northtown yard goats switches at St. Anthony Parkway as the sun begins to peep through a mostly cloudy sky on the last Friday for February, 2017. A new bridge carrying the parkway over the yard is currently under construction, replacing the venerable structure dating back to, apparently, Northern Pacific days. |

Midway |
| Description: |
BNSF Midway Intermodal yard sign and motive power, the latter of which was beginning to back up in a switching move as I snapped this shot, which was a "take two" of one I'd done a minute earlier that didn't turn out as good. |

Yard Power Portrait |
| Description: |
A portrait of the BNSF Midway Intermodal yard power doing their chores, duties attended to by a crew, apparently, not remote control, despite their being so equipped. |

What Are You Two Doing Here? |
| Description: |
I got this shot of the Midway yard power from the Amtrak/Friends Of The 261 fall color trip to Winona as we eased through Union Yard. However, these units appear to have shoved a cut of COFC cars right down into the Union Pacific's East Minneapolis yard, as the NS units in the left backgroumd indicate. |

Wow! |
| Description: |
There are some spur tracks located off the BNSF Midway Sub serving some industries located on the northeast side of Kasota Avenue. I came upon this baby quite by chance. This local had a former BN center cupola caboose on the hind end. Alas, it was too out of position for me to photograph. |
