Title:  Long Line Of Tank Cars
Description:  The TC&W regularly "blocks" cars for it's trains on the line it shares with the Canadian Pacific from Hopkins to St. Louis Park.

In the distance is the bridge on the CP's former Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern line that crosses the corridor that is split between the old Milwaukee Road and the old Minneapolis and St. Louis mainline, now a rail trail.

An Eclectic Mix
Title:  An Eclectic Mix
Description:  This and it's companion shot came out a wee bit fuzzy for some reason, maybe the lighting conditions did it. Anyay, the MP15 sandwiched between the Dash Nine and 40-2 is a bit of extra freight for the crew on this westbound general manifest racing through Long Lake, for it will be dropped off in Willmar.

Eastbound Bentonite Job Taking The Hole
Title:  Eastbound Bentonite Job Taking The Hole
Description:  An eastbound bentonite train takes the hole in Long Lake. However, the train was just a wee bit too long for the siding. Which necessitated the westbound BNSF Employee Appreciation special having to stop so the bentonite job could pull out at the Wayzata end of the siding and clear the tracks.

Title:  Warbonnets Far From Caliente

Dual-Flags Crossing Excelsior Boulevard
Title:  Dual-Flags Crossing Excelsior Boulevard
Description:  An brace of 38-2's -one ex-Soo, the other ex-Soo/MILW back on home rails this day- cross Excelsior Boulevard pushing three full Soo hoppers full of ballast as the 0630 job makes an appearance on the old Milwaukee Road before returning to the old MNS mainline in St. Louis Park. Last I saw of them, the crew was pulling up onto the spur track across from the Depot Coffehouse on the Three Rivers trail where two empty Soo hoppers sat parked (along with a track scale car which has been there for weeks. Not coupled to any of the other freight cars that have been parked there.) The ballast was apparently for MOW work. All in all, this was a pleasant surprise catch. Note "Milwaukee Street" on the streelight. This street borders the ex-Milwuakee CP/TCW line from Exclesior Blved to down by the 169 overpass. Where it becomes another street going south.

The Princess Depots Younger Sibling
Title:  The Princess Depots Younger Sibling
Description:  Here is Progressive Rail's snazzy new depot in Rosemount. It's design harkens back to that of the Princess Depot in Minneapolis' Minnehaha Park. The railroader in the orange vest was there to make sure nobody strayed onto the tracks when the northbound UP 3985 passed through. (For shots of the 3985 here, see my album entitled "Steam Trains").

First Catch Of 2009!!!!
Title:  First Catch Of 2009!!!!
Description:  Here is a westbound BNSF general freight thundering through Long Lake on a delightful unseaonally mild last day of January. For power, the crew has a quartet of GE's at their disposal. Note the traffic flowing east and west along the finally opened Highway 12 bypass which parallels the BNSF from the western border of Wayzata to the outskirts of Maple Plain. Catching this train marks the start of the 2009 railfan season for me.

ES44's Waitin'
Title:  ES44's Waitin'
Description:  Stopped by red signals, the unseen crew of a westbound general freight waits patiently beneath gloomy March skies with a brace of ES44ACs for power. Since the highway 12 bypass (i.e. "new 12") is now open, I had to hang back by the fence at an emergency access gate to get this shot in a gap between traffic passing east to west. While doing so, the Doobie Brothers tune "Long Train Runnin'" was chugging along on my MP3 player. Get down, man.

North And West Side Of The Station
Title:  North And West Side Of The Station
Description:  Here is a view of both the north and the west side of the Wazyata depot. The Chamber of Commerce occupies the western half. The Wayzata Historical Society the eastern. Thank goodness this gem survived the end of passenger service and still stands by an active rail line. In this case the old Great Northern mainline.

Title:  Cedar Lake Junction Today
Description:  Here is what Cedar Lake Junction, once home of the Cedar Lake shops of the Minneapolis and St. Louis, looks like today. One track, but a track that still beats with life. As the red signals at the junction with the BNSF Wayzata sub demonstrates.
