An Opening Act Before The Big Show |
| Description: |
A brace of CP GE's race through Loretto with a westbound general freight. The next train behind them is the CP 2816! See my "Steam Trains" photo album for pictures. This train plus another that was in town for a crew change sure made a good opening act, though! |

Waiting At Loretto |
| Description: |
CP AC4400's 8615 and 9656 are the motive power on a eastbound train that arrived in Loretto shortly before I arrived this day and soon pulled down the siding to by a dirt parking lot by the tracks where a taxi showed up with a relief crew, as this town is a CP crew change point. The relief sure got to see a cool show when the CP Empress 4-6-4 Hudson stormed through with an excursion to Glenwood, MN. A shot of her passing these units can be found in my "Steam Trains" photo album. |

Eastbound CP Train In Medina |
| Description: |
CP ES44AC 8840 and AC4400 9560 wheel an eastbound grain or potash (could not tell which) train through the Hamel area of Medina, MN (Hamel once was it's own town but later merged with Medina though retained it's local name). Also was taken by surprise by this one, since no whistling is allowed in Hamel, the first warning I got from this and the other train I caught here this day was when the grade crossing gates began to ding! |

Westbound Grain Train Waiting |
| Description: |
As the signals down at the siding in Long Lake were still red, the hogger and conductor on this eastbound apparently had to wait for something. As I forgot to bring my scanner, I have no idea what it was. Anyway, it allowed me time to grab this and another shot of this job. |

ICE 69029 |

On this day I found on the spur track which branches off the Union Pacific's Golden Valley Industrial Lead down by the Medicine Lake Properties complex in eastern Plymouth this piece of Iowa, Chicago, and Eastern rolling stock. Since the Canadian Pacific was about to buy both the ICE and the Dakota, Minnesota, and Eastern, I deemed it worthy of a pic. |

They were part of a larger lashup of power, consisting of one CN/IC unit (former IC with "IC" initals") and three UP units. They were detached, with the remafnder of the power used for a train that is passing behind them in this shot. I could not get the tree branches out of the way on the left, but realized the pond reflection negated tdat problem nicely! |

UP Brush Cutter |
| Description: |
I found this MOW unit parked on a spur off the Golden Valley Industrial Lead in Plymouth, MN. Designation is "BBCT" and the number is "9604". Railfan colleagues have informed me this is a brush cutter. It has been hanging out here for some time, and judging by the brush next to it, been gainfully employed on the UP Golden Valley Industrial Lead. Interestingly enough, the spur it is on is seldom used, but still must merit brush removal. |

Here storming into Long Lake in the early afternoon of the second day of November '07 is this pristine BN-painted (but with "BNSF" initals above the BN logo) wide-nosed SD60 9202. Hope the hogger had a unit with enough ponies horsepower-wise, for it was a long train 9202 had in tow. |

I caught UP 720 on the Golden Valley Industrial Lead job the week before. Now here she is again, at the end of the line just west of Xenium Lane in Plymouth, MN. After a break, the crew will switch the last industry on the line before heading back home. The communications tower to the left is a distinctive landmark in this suburb. |
