It's time for a visit to the paint booth... Coal loads head for the plant at Becker to meet an empty in the yard.
A late Empire Builder overtakes the H-PASGAL waiting on main one just west of Becker, MN.

This Warbonnet leads a long string of auto racks eastbound.
A stack train heads East with 2 NS units in the consist.
My first shots, of this train in Elk River, were ruined. I drove half way to St. Cloud to bag my first KCS unit.
