50s era power lineup |
Description: |
How I wish I took more shots in 2003! Here we see a great line up of classic 50s power on a very hazy and foggy March Day. I also shot BNSF 6108 this day (H1 SD9), but it blurred thanks to the thick fog. On the far left is BNSF 6499, an SD45-2, that would soon be owned by NRE. The 6234 would end up going to MTM, I don't know what happened to the SW1200s though. Date Approx. |

High Speed Coal Train |
Description: |
The day of my middle school graduation I took this picture. I was unable to attend graduation because I was a part time home school student, and for that reason the school would not let me graduate with my classmates. So to break my boredom and semi anger I went up to Fridley and took this picture. Train was doing 60 mph as it went by! |

Back on May 1st 2004, I was treated to some good catches at Northtown, one being this one with two CP SD40-2s and the 6332 on the pullout job. To this day I have no idea what that lead CP unit was, but I know for sure the trailing one is the 6061. |
