MPRVP heads through Sono Jct with four GEVO's and 2 SD70ACe's including the Southern Pacific heritage unit.

An ethanol train from the TC&W heads east through Saint Anthony with a pair of CSXT GE's up front. A trio of UP units can be seen off to the left, waiting to get into UP's East Minneapolis Yard.

After cutting their helpers off, MSSPR is underway once again with a beaten "Triclops" SD60M leading the way.

A beat up three window SD60M brings MSSPR east. A SD60M leading a road train is further proof of the UP's power struggles this winter season.

Consecutively numbered ACe's bring oil emptys west around Victoria Street in St. Paul.

One of the few remaining SOO SD60's brings CP 298 east at Union Jct. I never thought I would see a Soo Line SD60 again, luckily I was wrong!

A M-2 and a pink warbonnet dash 8 bring ZCHEM by the former detector at MP 28.6.

The UP is starting to replace searchlight signals this year but for now, a searchlight protects the west end of Hersey siding.

Once a common site, the CNW 49 series covered hoppers are now few and far between. Most have been repainted into UP paint, but still retain its original CNW number.

A 12 hour late ZEMCH rushes through Roberts. The plowed snow has created large snow piles, giving a good vantage point of the tracks.

After meeting a train at Hersey, MADMCS is on the move again.

RRGNMS heads east with SP 177 and patched UP 6210 leading the way.

Due to power issues, a cascade F59 was put on the point of #8. The conductor has just thrown the switches to head through the MNNR yard and into Midway station.

A somewhat rare 95' AC4400CW wearing the unification flag scheme, brings loaded oil cans east. This is one of one-hundred or so GE's the CP has leased out to the BNSF.

A sharp looking ACe pushes hard on the rear of a loaded oil train. As the train passed, I noticed some of the cars were the old style tank cars.
