Early Christmas/Whole next year present anyone? After getting interested in some of these units a few days back, Im given a gift to actually see one with my own eyes, and in Minnesota of all places. Surely, since being south of the border, this is one of the few times it has been in the snow since its Milwaukee days. |

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. |

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. |

Baretable power |
| Description: |
Two SD40-2's run lite towards Staples yard for their cars, with the elegant 1947 doing the honors for now. Both the EMD and old lineside structure have seen better days, but for now are still useful to their owners. |

Driving like I meant it, I was still late to the party and scrambled to find this opening before they dissapeared into the yard. |
