The infamous day that I shot two BNSF Dash 9's....In my defense this train had the 5500 trailing and the Z-CHCPTL had the CSXT 7531 and a Ferromex Gevo. |

Wow @ M-KCKNTW |
| Description: |
"...Like its 19-ninetynine..." Pretty amazing sight to find three BN Greens together nowadays. Wonder how much longer the 3404 has with the BNSF, not to mention the fresh-out-of-storage SD60M's... |

About the only widecabs that I tend to willingly shoot up in the Cities are CSX's. And its been long time no see for me and the 7373, over three years ago just a few hundred feet away from me. 5001 is trailing. |

CSXT 7522 |
| Description: |
Although the power situation on todays railroads isn't quite as interesting as a few years ago, its refreshing to see the BNSF seemingly getting back to its old ways. Minus the spartan cabs, foriegn power is all over lately, and today the GALSUP has this freshly painted C40-8 trailing. |

Q-STPTAC |
| Description: |
Apparently Northtown had other ideas, and the crew was informed that this train is going all the way to Staples, as is. I couldn't believe it. BNSF actually threw a curveball and surprised me, about the first time in over a year. And so here they are, blowing gray smoke as they stretch a bit on the high iron at University. |

KCS 4623 |
| Description: |
After one stack train went West with a pair of 19XX SD40-2's, the Eastbound had a surprise of its own. Not really a fan of AC44's nor GEVO's, but if it's KCS and FXE I think I can take a shot without feeling guilty! Pretty neat. |

Fine then, BNSF |
| Description: |
If someone would have told me I'd shoot two pairs of BNSF SD40-2's on road trains in less than 24 hours I would have thought that person to be insane. I would have also had to bite my tongue because here comes the NTWKCK at University, headed for Wilmar. At first I thought that this had to be a transfer but after noticing the track he was on and judging the cars in his train, I realized that these two Cascades were given rare duties on a road train, so the chase quickly ensued. |
