Ah cold temps return. The SD45 billows white smoke as it throttles up, then black exhaust.
This light power is scooting over to Harrison St. Jct. to pick up coal to finish the C-NAMTCN.
Finally clear to return to East Mpls. This was the UP-BN Transfer.
One clean, one filthy - both old push back into the yard.
Leaves do their best to hang on as horsepower rumbles the Minnesota River valley.
Can't put my finger on it, but something is missing.
A track crew replaces a section of the Park Jct. diamond. The ore cars behind are apart of the U-ALLMAD which broke a knuckle. Talk about a tie-up!
Actually reversing from the west end of the Midway Yard.
A string of IBT box cars head north behind the CN's 5799 and 5553.
54 cars put a lot of attention on this single switcher.
This short train zipped up and down the Midway sub, probably after the UP coal derailment.
It didn't take long for the UP to dirty up this leaser. A patched SP unit and the blue bomber set out from East Minneapolis.
Weaving through Union Yard into the Midway yard.
Wrong way main and light power for a long train.
Heading down to the small yard off Shepard Road. Photo #600.
