A nice and non-faded ex-Conrail C40-8W as seen through the yard's turntable idles the morning away. It's always nice to see Conrail Blue way up here!

Another all-AC powered coal train brings Clay Boswell loads into the yard on a pleasant Sunday morning after two straight days of rain. BN 9694, the same unit I caught a few days prior, runs seco... (more)

FURX 7927 leads five other units south on a short Grand Forks - Northtown manifest. Looks like BNSF 3702's stay in The Forks was short lived...
