The High Priority manifest has some grungy power (Example:Foamer Power) tonight, and is threading through the horrific lighting conditions at University. This was a lashup to remember, and even though the lighting sucked I cherished being able to capture such a rare consist. |

Its the famous CSXT 8105. Bleading through Family Lines scheme, and in YN1 to top it off. If this is the last one I see on the mains (which I hope not) here on the BNSF, than what a way to go out! |

| Description: |
Dark, cold, and the ISO at 800 was what this image was made up of. The sun is nearly down, and the former BN Minneapolis Jct. shop building in the background provides a backdrop (not a very photoesque one!) to some outstanding power, an NS SD60I,CSXT C40-8, and a CSXT SD40-2. Pure brilliance in the hostling department! |

A little B&W to set the tone, on perhaps my last time pointing a camera at a CSX YN1 SD40-2, heck, maybe even CSX SD40-2's all together. But, I think there might be a few more that will find there way up here! |

It feels like only yesterday when the BNSF 9242 led another SD60M and a CN SD40-2W through Northtown on the main. How long ago it seally was, 2 years ago, but so much including the roadnumber have changed. |

Once a dime a dozen, now yard service |
| Description: |
A set of three SD40-2's, all#green, head back into the yard after pumping air on an all-rail train. Sadly, this#is about the only mainline running they are doing anymore, as they cross over into the 603 switch. There is no question that these are yard engines, the missing plow tells the story all too well. |

After pulling the Amtrak unit out in front of the 8138, they go back in and grab the 8138 seperately. Thankfully too, as I thought that they would end up leaving the CSX in the cravpy location. |

| Description: |
The CWX-Pasco limps into the yard at around 9:15 in the morning. Its been a long night, the original crew died at Saint Paul and to top it off the 552 was Bad Ordered. The plan was to re-crew the train with the One Day Only job and bring it back into Northtown. Well, they didn't seem to haMe a good night either, as they are finally getting into the yard nearly 12 hours after the original crew died, and with the 552 leading (must have been fixed?). |
