Here Comes The Northstar! |
| Description: |
The northbound Northstar arrives at Big Lake beneath gray skies on the Friday after Thanksgiving. I would ride this train to Target Field, savoring an instance of the journey being the destination. |

Back From The Mill City |
| Description: |
This is the engine that pulled the four car train I rode from Target Field Station in downtown Minneapolis to Big Lake Station. The Northstar can really roll! I sure look forward to the day St. Cloud is served by Northstar at last. |

Quiet Siding |
| Description: |
This quiet siding north of Pine Street on the rarely used portion of the Monticello Subdivision does see use as a runaround track for motive power on trains serving the Monticello power plant. Shame no action was going on today. |

Rusty Ex-Great Northern South of Pine Street |
| Description: |
A view of the BNSF Monticello Subdivision looking south from Pine Street. As there have been no special moves to Xcel Energy's Monticello power plant in recent years, rust has regained a firm hold on these ex-Great Northern rails. |

BN 10187 On Display |
| Description: |
Burlington Northern 10187 can be found on display at the Albertville Lions Park, located next to the BNSF Monticello Subdivision. A depot-like building is being built next to the caboose. Note how none of the windows are covered, thus restoring the 10187 to her 1970s look. |

Outbound Train On Track One |
| Description: |
The outbound train on Track One sits with doors open awaiting passengers like me on the day after Thanksgiving, 2017. No flood of Black Friday shoppers awaiting homeward departure here, for which I was grateful, because the ride to and from Target Field aboard the Northstar was nice and mellow. |

Zooming By The 261 Shop |
| Description: |
I tried to get a shot of the coach "Lake Pepin" as the northbound Northstar to Big Lake passed the 261 shop. All I could manage was this. Oh well, so be it. |
