Parked Separately
Title:  Parked Separately
Description:  Usually Progressive Rail's Dan Patch Line power can be found coupled together at the open air "shops" west of Lyndale Avenue on the old Hi-Line. This mild Saturday afternoon, however, they were decoupled with PGR 34 on the spur into Ziegler CAT and PGR 36 out on the main. Perhaps the 34 was awaiting repairs of some sort?

In For Work?
Title:  In For Work?
Description:  To my surprise, PGR 34 was parked on the spur leading into Ziegler CAT this day. Perhaps she was in awaiting work of some sort? Whatever the reason, it made for a unique photo.

Look For The Famous Feline
Title:  Look For The Famous Feline
Description:  Amongst covered hoppers stashed on the siding south of Lone Oak Road on PGR's Eagandale Line, this one's graffiti stood out to me this day. Especially because of a certain famous feline at the bottom right!

Title:  Hey There, Garf!
Description:  You never know what you'll find painted on a freight car's side. Hey there, Garfield! Out looking for excitement while riding the rails, eh? :-)

Close As I Could Get
Title:  Close As I Could Get
Description:  I failed to reach Union Depot at an early hour this day, which meant all the parking was either taken or vanishing fast as melting snow. Fortunately, after stumbling about I came upon this vantage point north of the station's spur track which afforded me a brief stop to take a few pics. This was the first.

Best Shot
Title:  Best Shot
Description:  This was the best shot I got of the North Pole Express 2024 in a sequence of three. My location just north of the Union Depot spur upon which the NPE operates was due to lack of parking closer by, but never, ever underestimate a railfan's resourcefulness and tenactiy! :-)
