One Take Catch |
| Description: |
Normally I lavish two or more pictures on trains rolling through Long Lake. Today I decided to allocate just one, and boy did it turn out nice! This is a westbound mixed merchandise job about to duck under Brown Road as the hogger heads west to Willmar and beyond. |

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. |

The Illusion Of An Approaching Train |
| Description: |
The PGR 36 waits on the west side of the 35W bridge on a gorgeous early afternoon in late April. It was sitting unmanned due to the PGR's "push/pull" operations on the line utilizing units at each end of their trains. At this moment the crew was using PGR 34 to switch their freight house, leaving the 36 to create the illusion of an oncoming train down at the bridge. I still kept my distance regardless. Better safe than sorry, folks. |

(It's "Office Space" meets "Brewster's Millions" out here.) |

I just learned this baby is an ex-Frisco unit. Sure is cool to see it still in operation, and on former Milwaukee Road rails too. In this case, the rails of MNNR's Hiawatha Switching District, serving the last operating Minneapolis mills. I had long wanted to catch the Minnesota Commercial here, and finally got my chance just as the rain was ending late on an April morning in 2015. |

Man I Love The Zoom Lens |
| Description: |
Dual sets of engines sit ready and waiting at Valley Park's east throat -- man I love the zoom lens on my camera. I was able to get this shot without trespassing on UP property. |

MNNR 313 In New Paint (And Now Named!) |
| Description: |
I was happy to discover the 313 has been recently repainted into the new MNNR scheme. I note they even gave her a name, but I did not stick around to record it due to being pressed for time. Photo taken at the MNNR roundhouse. |

MNNR 54 At 38th Street |
| Description: |
Much as I enjoy photographing the Blue (formerly Hiawatha) Line, I relish seeing freight rail action on the venerable Milwaukee Rails which still parallel Hiawatha Avenue from south of Lake Street to the Princess Depot at Minnehaha Park. Here the MNNR crew is taking the 54 south of 38th Street to do some switching on a gray (and abnormally cool and windy!) Monday morning in May. |

MNNR T-2 |
| Description: |
I think this yard slug is interesting due to it being a former high-hood GE. Here it is parked with a fistful of motive power at the MNNR roundhouse. |
