Dark ICE |
Description: |
After hearing and seeing 171 by the Northwestern Terminal Building in NE Mpls, I gunned it over to Humboldt Yard only to watch the sun fade before my very eyes due to a storm front rapidly approaching. As a result, this is the best acceptable shot I could pull off given the conditions. |

Sneaky 498 |
Description: |
Right after getting a shot of 487 in the siding, 498 showed up with an AC44 leading a Soo SD60. Literally a moment earlier I checked to see if something was coming, I turned my back, and right after doing so Josh yelled that a train was coming! Goes to show that even if you check for a train, one can still sneak up and surprise you! |

Strait 70s power |
Description: |
Todays 171 is made of motive power that used to rule the rails back in the 70s. The 3067 is a former CNW SD40, the 6362 is former Milwaukee Road, and the 6090 is a former QNSL unit. Quite the heritage! |

The daily transfer from Humboldt to Northtown comes up to CP University with a nice set of geeps for power. The paint on these units are holding up great seeing how they were repainted about 18 months ago. |

Dresser Turn |
Description: |
A loaded Dresser Turn comes through NE Mpls with two Soo SD60s for power. The only reason I got a head of this train was because of the gates not working at 37th. If you look, you can see that they aren't down in the background. |
