Cruising west on the North Runner past NREX 227 (a former QNSL unit) this caboose sports a new piece of art in place of the old logo.

Easing along the North Runner by the deadlines...

Leading up the westbound R916 today is IC 6007, complete with Operation Lifesaver logos

Pulling into the south end of Northtown to pickup the outbound train with an interesting set of units today.

Easing under the bridge work... The Soo Line bridge replacement is well underway - the large white crane behind the units is a part of that job.

Working hard as it eases past a sea of empty tracks and the Minneapolis skyline...

Set out at the diesel shop...

All green here - inc. BNSF 7812, one of just a handful left in the big BN logo on the long hood.

Plenty of orange and green today with one lone former Santa Fe unit to break it up. The stack train is getting a new crew as workers scale the diesel tank...

Running just 20 or so minutes down they fly into town. The guys in the cab were flapping at the folks on the platform while a Soo 4409 sits in the small yard in town...

All aboard! The crowd gets ready to head east to Chicago while a handful hop off in downtown Red Wing...

It's still CP Rail around here as Gevo 8826 gets ready to depart after a fast crew change...

Ready to go on the ready track with a lot of newer UP power, 2032 is showing its age a bit. You can even read the old Milwaukee Road lettering and numbering again on the long hood...

It's well over 90 degrees out and 1536 is hard at work kicking cars around the shops...

Calling it a day... The main is cleared and another weekend is complete up on the Dresser Sub.
