Merging onto BNSF St. Paul sub trackage.

This northbound UP frieght transitions onto the BNSF's Hinckely Sub from the Staples Sub.

Morning sun shines on this light power move on the BNSF. I learned this pair was a going from Shoreham terminal to St. Paul, taken off the 183, due to dynamic brake problems.

Eastbound.

A unit grain train pulls through Minneapolis.

A Z-train zips into Northtown.

Push-n-pull.

From Steelton, MN to Birmingham, AL.

Building a general merchandise train.

The fourth grain train in two hours. This one is westbound.

An empty unit grain train gets the green to head west.

Hanging on, anticipating the approaching switch. Returning from the (UP) Valley Park Yard.

Two AC4400CWs work a coal train. This is the tail end, entering into the South St. Paul yard.

Powered by GE, this train heads south. Downtown St. Paul is perched on the bluff in the background, and a duffel bag left on the front porch.

This string of NSP coal cars will have to wait for another crew.
