Warbonnet And A Heritage II |
| Description: |
The crew of an eastbound general freight waits aboard BNSF Warbonnet 773 down by the County Road 15 bridge. Ol' Leland K.'s paint job sure looks good even with "BNSF" on the long hood. |

Viva The Soo Line! |
| Description: |
This picture just shouts "Viva the Soo Line!" it is so evocative of it's glory days. Here todays CP/Soo MN&S 0630 rolls north across the bridge spanning the BNSF Wayzata sub and the Cedar Lake trail with one ribside covered hopper in tow and a pair of veteran Soo units at the disposal of the crew. My own motive power -my bicycle- is in the foreground. |

Lo And Behold! |
| Description: |
This spur track can be found just east of the Hwy 100 bridge over the BNSF Wayzata sub & the Cedar Lake Trail. Usually I find nothing on it, but today was different: Three TOFC flats -two TTX, one BNSF- with three old bridge spans on them. |

Rolling By Where There Were Many Tracks Once Upon A Time |
| Description: |
The returning St. Paul Turn lesuirely rolls along at 10 MPH past where, on the left, was once solid tracks in the M&ST.L's Kenwood yard. Today a trail is what occupies most of the site save for a sole surviving mainline track. Making for easy railfanning on public property once privately owned by the Louie and, later, the Chicago and North Western. Interesting to relate: When the Minnesota Valley Railway once interchanged with the Soo and the CNW in this area, their motive power laid over on a now-gone siding in this location awaiting the arrival of the CNW with their portion of the interchange. Shame that short line is now gone. Would loved to have seen that. |

Easter Train!!!! |
| Description: |
I had been having a dry spell catch-wise over my three day Easter weekend holiday. But Easter evening I hit paydirt first with this eastbound freight which was slowly entering Long Lake to take the siding so as to meet a westbound which soon became my second catch. Brown Road is the bridge in the distance. |

Charging For Wayzata |
| Description: |
Away goes this Norfolk Southern trio. Racing for the Luce Line trail bridge and the Wayzata/Long Lake border. Behind the NS 2591 are a pair of plaine-jane NS SD70s. On days like these you'd think you were east of Chicago on the old Conrail lines rather than in the Gopher State, which is just fine by this railfan. Why go to the railroad when the railroad can come to you, hey? |

Passing The Old Dakota Rail Interchange |
| Description: |
The MOW train with a mixture of older ex-BN and Soo power passes the old Dakota Rail interchange. Now used for occasional car storage by the BNSF. Sad to relate: I did not know there was a classic ex-BN caboose on the hind end of this job until I looked up from my notes in time to see it rolling around the bend. Better luck next time, I suppose. |

Remote-Equipped But In Human Hands |
| Description: |
This short train with this classic old Santa Fe unit stopped briefly by Van Cleve Park after crossing 15th avenue to let the crewman seen on the ladder board. Then it was northward ho! It might have been a short hop going to Northtown judging by the short string of misc. freight cars and bare tables it was towing. While it is sporting "Remote Controll Equipped" on it today it had human hands in controll. |

They now end beneath the 10th Avenue bridge except for one rusty old set of tracks which still wends it's way from by the Stone Arch bridge to by the coal plant. Long unused yet still extant. It borders the road on the very right of this picture. |

The Sight You Often See |

Usually this is what the BNSF in Long Lake looks like: Empty tracks, with a red singal perpetually glowing at "West Wayzata" (Long Lake) end of the Wayzata-Orono-Long Lake siding on the Wayzata sub. |

Waitin' At West Wayzata |

I don't know why the Long Lake end of the siding between Wayzata and here on the Wayzata sub is named "West Wayzata." It is here that the crew of this westbound empty coal train waits aboard their charges for an eastbound to clear. |

Mexican Standoff |
| Description: |
A westbound BNSF (empty) unit coal train waits at "West Wayzata" for an eastbound blocked by red signals to clear. Another eastbound had been waiting on the main track for the coal train and had just cleared by the time I arrived. Sadly, as I was heading down to catch the eastbound, it started up. And I missed it by a hairs breath. |
