Black and Blue
Title:  Black and Blue
Description:  The UP at East Minneapolis is anything but UP today. The Triple Crown arrives with normal NS power, while the UP-BN power sits to the right with a pair of GMTX Geeps. Out of sight are three other units, a canary yellow HLCX Geep sitting solo, and two NS GE's (NS 8325 is CR paint) waiting for their own Triple Crown train.

Title:  G-NSLHWM4-30A
Description:  Not much for any type of widecab, especially ACe's, but these Gray KCS ones have long been my favorite (which isn't saying much). The real reason I was shooting this was for the third unit, a rare 82XX series former L&N SD40-2. Cant be more than five or so of these still out and about, atleast as mainline motive power.
