What Oext For Ford Yard? |
| Description: |
The yard tracks at right have been severed, but the yard tracks at left are still connected. The site of the Ford Yard office was on the left. Note the forlorn windsock and floodlights. I sure hope a big manufacturer moves into the Ford Plant site. This would breathe new life into these old Milwaukee rails. |

CN Transfer Close Up |
| Description: |
A close up look at the CN transfer I caught just east of Cardigan Jct this day. The UP unit is a nice touch, but not substitute for the glory days of the Wisconsin Central and its colorful locomotive fleet. |

Third Time's The Charm |
| Description: |
I had to make three tries to catch this train, finally bagging it from the links of the Wayzata Country Club (which was closed this day despite the early spring weather we were enjoying). This train had entered neighboring Long Lake and briefly stopped before taking the siding. No train immediately passed going west, so I suspect this train's crew was low on their hours of service and had to stop to await a relief crew. |

| Description: |
Indiana Railroads' ex-Soo Line SD60s are often visitors to the Gopher State. I caught one at last on a recent visit to Northtown Yard, in the company of a veteran CP unit. |

Milwaukee Road Reminder |
| Description: |
I doffed my Milwaukee 261 ball cap when I saw this. This car was one of several mixed in with a bunch of ex-Soo ones in a cut of cars being switched at Humboldt on a fine early spring afternoon. |

Northtown's Hump Power |
| Description: |
A trio of BNSF SD40-2s--two of which are sporting the new "swoosh" logo--are today's hump power at Northtown Yard. Currently the units are approaching the 44th Avenue overpass, the cut of cars they are kicking almost complete. Soon they will sit at the top of the hump awaiting the hogger's next instructions. |

Switching On A Spring Fever Day |
| Description: |
As spring fever grips the Twin Cities early, the yard hogger at Northtown has no time to play hooky as he nurses his venerable SD40-2 back and forth switching cars. The Canadian Pacific's Paynesville Sub crosses on the bridge in the background. |

Bandit At Northtown |
| Description: |
Some CP units were parked down in the southeastern end of Northtown Yard when I visited recently. This ex-Milwaukee Road "bandit" was the pick of them (natch). |

Long Line Of Iron Horses |
| Description: |
Northtown's southeast end is always a good place to find stored units. This year is no exception. Just look at all those stored iron horses awaiting their next call to duty. |
