Evening UP backs towards NTW |
| Description: |
UP 1766 (missing the 1 on this side) pulled a small-ish train (transfer from UP?) northwest past the Huxley Appts (23rd and Jeff. NE) The rebuilt SD-40 smoked lightly in the evening light - windy too! |

BNSF train idles at University |
| Description: |
Twin ES44C4s headed westbound were idled under cool morning clouds just east of the University Ave signal - 7th just N of Lowry NE seems to be a crew change point. The last conductor stopped nearly perfectly at the closer stairs! |

Strange flatcar equipment train |
| Description: |
On a cloudy, humid morning a short train with MoW equipment (most of flatcars, as shown) rolled slowly through NTW. This was right after a fairly late Amtrak eastbound...that I missed by no more than 10 minutes... |

Mixed freight waiting to get into NTW |
| Description: |
These BNSF locos were idling very low (sounded as if only 1 was running, but I don't think that's true) behind the Firefighters Museum in the Holland neighborhood. I later saw this train pull into NTW. |

Two graffitied boxcars rolled south/east out of NTW as seen from University Ave. Note the BNSF car number patch painted over the graffiti. Another railfan below probably got much better shots than I did... |

Remote controlled SD40 works NTW |
| Description: |
BNSF 1913 pulls a pretty long cut of cars south through NTW, passing under the St. Anthony Parkway bridge. I believe 1913 was being remotely operated (didn't see an engineer and the RC warning light on the cab is seen on - was flashing). |

A closer shot of BNSF 7817 rolling slowly north just before passing under St. Anthony Pkwy. With the grain elevator in the background and a nicely clouded afternoon sunlight, this shot turned out pretty nice. |

20-axle super heavy flatcar at Central |
| Description: |
Just west of Central Ave and on the southern track, this low-boy style flat car caught my eye. At 20 axels, the behemoth can carry 477 tons!?! The car also says 25mph limit when empty; this train was stopped at the time, no idea where to/from/anything else. |
