The daily Dilworth - Grand Forks manifest delivers once again on decent power as a Bluebonnet GP60 takes the east leg of the wye into the yard.
BNSF 2194, an RCO yard switcher and unsung hero of the Class 1, shoves cars under a brilliant blue North Dakota sky.
Still sporting its coat of Wisconsin Central paint, a rare and visiting MRL 1701 sneaks through the yard to back onto the daily H-train. Too bad they'd put an H2 B40-8W on the point before depart... (more)
Another B40-8 leads the daily H-GFDGAL train out of the yard and under I-29 on its way toward Fargo.
How neat is this? A GP39M leading main line freight in 2006! BNSF 2808 northbound on the Hillsboro Sub with the daily Dilworth - Grand Forks manifest.

Who says full service is a thing of the past?!? With Stop signage in place, EMDX 9040 waits for a final fill up on the last unit before departing.
