Former UP 2906
Title:  Former UP 2906
Description:  I was pretty surprised to find this nifty tunnel motor sitting at the shops this evening. No reporting marks, or number for that matter, but If I had to guess I'd put money on ILSX picking it up.

CSXT 7373
Title:  CSXT 7373
Description:  About the only widecabs that I tend to willingly shoot up in the Cities are CSX's. And its been long time no see for me and the 7373, over three years ago just a few hundred feet away from me. 5001 is trailing.

CSXT 7522
Title:  CSXT 7522
Description:  Although the power situation on todays railroads isn't quite as interesting as a few years ago, its refreshing to see the BNSF seemingly getting back to its old ways. Minus the spartan cabs, foriegn power is all over lately, and today the GALSUP has this freshly painted C40-8 trailing.

Q-STPTAC

Description:  Two SD40-2's drag the stacks out of Union and to Northtown where they will add power (AKA: Give the train Dash 9's or other "suitable" units) and take the shuttle power off.

Q-STPTAC
Title:  Q-STPTAC
Description:  Apparently Northtown had other ideas, and the crew was informed that this train is going all the way to Staples, as is. I couldn't believe it. BNSF actually threw a curveball and surprised me, about the first time in over a year. And so here they are, blowing gray smoke as they stretch a bit on the high iron at University.

KCS 4623
Title:  KCS 4623
Description:  After one stack train went West with a pair of 19XX SD40-2's, the Eastbound had a surprise of its own. Not really a fan of AC44's nor GEVO's, but if it's KCS and FXE I think I can take a shot without feeling guilty! Pretty neat.

Fine then, BNSF
Title:  Fine then, BNSF
Description:  If someone would have told me I'd shoot two pairs of BNSF SD40-2's on road trains in less than 24 hours I would have thought that person th be insane. I would have also had to bite my tongue because here comes the NTWKCK at University, headed for Wilmar. At first I thought that this had to be a transfer but after noticing the track he was on and judging the cars in his train, I realized that these two Cascades were given rare duties on a road train, so the chase quickly ensued.
