CN Transfer Close Up |
| Description: |
A close up look at the CN transfer I caught just east of Cardigan Jct this day. The UP unit is a nice touch, but not substitute for the glory days of the Wisconsin Central and its colorful locomotive fleet. |

Strangers In Town |

A unit train made up of mostly Cargil cars and with CN (and BOCL!) power on the point and mid-train rumbles into Long Lake as the crew wheels the train west. Is this a run-through or a detour? |

One Colorful Lashup! |
| Description: |
The crew of this eastbound freight which briefly stopped on the Wayzata Sub out in Long Lake had one colorful lashup for motive power. The HLCX unit is a rare sight since HLCX units are more often found on the Union Pacific in the Twin Cities. |

Six Units! |

Sunset on this grey Saturday in February is barely forty minutes away as this eastbound BNSF sand or potash (do not know which) train takes the siding at Long Lake for a quick meet with a westboud extra toting a rotary snowplow/locomotive combo. Most of the hoppers were from the BNSF with a few other shippers mixed into the consist strung out between the lead units and the DPU. |

Bound For A Red Signal |
| Description: |
Around the curve which starts beneath the Brown Road bridge in the distance a set of red signals awaits the crew of this eastbound manifest. They were stopped, however, for only a short duration before getting clearance to move again. It seems the trailing dash-nine is badly in need of a new coat of paint. Wonder when she will recieve one? Note the ex- CNW ribside hopper behind her. |

Look At All Those Units |

Eight units lead a westbound BNSF freight as it heads for the Long Lake/Orono border and points west, including Willmar, where I presume some of these units were hitching a ride to. BNSF 631 is an ex-Santa Fe Warbonnet, which always is a sight for sore eyes to see over twenty years after the BN-Santa Fe merger. |

Stopped In Long Lake |
| Description: |
An eastbound unit grain train waits in Long Lake for a green signal. The BNSF dispatcher likes to utilize Long Lake as a place for trains to wait, apparently due to how far out of Minneapolis this suburb is. |

Honking Away |
| Description: |
Over at Bandana Square, I kept hearing air horns, even engine bells at one point too. Turns out they came courtesey of the hogger of this GE duo over at Midway yard. The engines are inching a cut of COFC cars forward in this shot. Note the footbridge in the distance that also used to cross Kopper's Coke way back when. |

What Midway Intermodal Is All About |
| Description: |
This shot gives us a sense of what Midway Intermodal yard is all about: COFC (and TOFC) trafffic! This GE duo was inching a cut of container-on-flats ("baretables" the cars technical name) down the yard a piece as I got this shot. They stopped, resumed as I drove away, then stopped again. Had no time to linger and see what was up, alas. |
