Oldies But Goodies! |
| Description: |
Here comes a colorful lashup at the head of another MOW-related train entering Wayzata. This is the first older BNSF unit I've seen in action this year. The Soo Line unit was a delightful treat. |

Passing The Old Dakota Rail Interchange |
| Description: |
The MOW train with a mixture of older ex-BN and Soo power passes the old Dakota Rail interchange. Now used for occasional car storage by the BNSF. Sad to relate: I did not know there was a classic ex-BN caboose on the hind end of this job until I looked up from my notes in time to see it rolling around the bend. Better luck next time, I suppose. |

Remote-Equipped But In Human Hands |
| Description: |
This short train with this classic old Santa Fe unit stopped briefly by Van Cleve Park after crossing 15th avenue to let the crewman seen on the ladder board. Then it was northward ho! It might have been a short hop going to Northtown judging by the short string of misc. freight cars and bare tables it was towing. While it is sporting "Remote Controll Equipped" on it today it had human hands in controll. |

The New End Of Track In The Trench |
| Description: |
This is where the storage/U of M coal plant tracks served by the Minnesota Commerical in the Dinkytown trench now end after being truncated by work on the new 35W bridge. They now end beneath the 10th Avenue bridge except for one rusty old set of tracks which still wends it's way from by the Stone Arch bridge to by the coal plant. Long unused yet still extant. It borders the road on the very right of this picture. |

Impressive Lashup |

Now this lashups puts the "power" in "horsepower"! This eastbound freight is mostly pulled onto the siding but the crew seemed to be having trouble with the consist. For when I grabbed this and several other shots the tail end of the train was still out on the main track up in Long Lake. The Luce Line trail bridge over the BNSF/Highway 12 bypass corrior is in the distance. |

Rare Sight In Town These Days |
| Description: |
This is one of the few diamond crossings left in the Twin Cities: Where the CP's old MN&S mainline crosses the UP's Golden Valley industrial spur to Plymouth. The Luce Line trail extension to Theodore Wirth Park makes this spot accessible now to fans. It is just east of Douglas Drive in Golden Valley. |

Crane Crossing 35W |
| Description: |
This crane was pushing a short MOW job of two small hoppers and an ex-BN caboose across 35W. I later saw it again from the Van Cleve park pedestrian bridge. Having re-crossed 35W to the U of M side of the line. |

Wait And Wait Some More |
| Description: |
The crew aboard this eastbound freight waits and waits some more for the signals facing them to go from red to green as their train cools it's heels on the Wayzata sub's main track in Long Lake as traffic flows by on new Highway 12. Dig that ex-Con Agra ribside hopper in the right foreground, a very colorful freight car. |

First Catch In Over A Month |
| Description: |
After a dry spell of over a month, I finally got back into the railfan swing of things when I spied this eastbound freight stopped for a red signal on the Wayzata sub in Long Lake. Had to climb up onto the embankment of the sound wall on the north side of new Highway 12 to get this portrait of the motive power. |

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. |

Droppin' Downgrade |
| Description: |
The hogger on this eastbound freight glides his train downgrade from Orono into Long Lake on an early November Saturday that feels more like spring than fall. I especially like this view from the Willow Drive bridge for how it captures the grade and nearby curve in the background on this stretch of track. |
