| Railroad: BNSF Locomotive: BNSF 7430 GE ES44DC Location: East Dilworth City: Glyndon, Minnesota Date: 11-28-2008 Remarks: Sunday's M-SUPMIN rolls over the Pike Bay Loop Road at a pretty good clip. The train arrived much sooner than I anticipated, but was set up and ready to fire. Somtimes clouds can help a shot. |
| Railroad: BNSF Locomotive: BNSF 8849 SD70MAC Location: MP 226.3 City: Lake Park, Minnesota Date: 11-28-2008 Remarks: Slowing for a speed restriction just ahead, this coal train powered by a trio of MACs was the first train in three hours... a pretty slow morning along the Staples Sub. |
| Railroad: BNSF Locomotive: BNSF Location: MP 226.3 City: Lake Park, MN Date: 11-28-2008 Remarks: Whoops... have to upload this shot. |
| Railroad: BNSF Locomotive: BNSF 8226 EMD SD75M Location: Station Sign City: Cass Lake, Minnesota Date: 11-25-2008 Remarks: Coal loads meet the BNSF M-SUPMIN at the Cass Lake Station Sign. This was one of the final runs of the BNSF M-SUPMIN or M-MINSUP. |
| Railroad: BNSF Locomotive: BNSF 7590 EMD SD40-2R Location: Station Sign City: Cass Lake, Minnesota Date: 11-25-2008 Remarks: With a crew member applying the brakes, the BNSF 7590 takes in some of the final rays of sun. The engine was recently washed and looked great in the H3 paint. |
| Railroad: BNSF Locomotive: BNSF 7590 EMD SD40-2R Location: Pike Bay/Cass Lake Narrows City: Cass Lake, Minnesota Date: 11-25-2008 Remarks: Running between two of the northland's best fishing spots - Pike Bay and Cass Lake - this rebuilt SD45-2 looks great in the evening sun. |
| Railroad: BNSF Locomotive: BNSF 7484 GE ES44DC Location: Station Sign City: Cass Lake, Minnesota Date: 11-16-2008 Remarks: The newest GEVO's coming out of GE have the rear headlights mounted horizontally and at the top of the hood instead of in the middle and vertically. |
| Railroad: BNSF Locomotive: BNSF 7590 EMD SD40-2R Location: Station Sign City: Cass Lake, Minnesota Date: 11-25-2008 Remarks: A former SD45-2 rebuilt to a BNSF SD40-2R is waiting for a new crew to head west on the Grand Forks Sub. The 7590 is built to SD40-2 specs. |
| Railroad: BNSF Locomotive: BNSF 8244 EMD SD75M Location: County Road 101 City: Cass Lake, Minnesota Date: 11-25-2008 Remarks: Oh it hurts... hurts so bad. The train caught me off guard as I sat in my warm car waiting to hear the horn blast for the grade crossing. At the last moment I struggled to set my video camera up and subsequently shut my still camera off and missed the train. |
 |
| Railroad: BNSF Locomotive: BNSF 7430 GE ES44DC Location: East Dilworth City: Glyndon, Minnesota Date: 11-28-2008 Remarks: Slowing for their turn to pull through the Dilworth Terminal, this priority train will take on a new crew and smoke out of town and head west. |

| Railroad: Amtrak Locomotive: AMTK 90225 NPCU Location: West Waterford Ave City: Milwaukee, Wisconsin Date: 11-10-2008 Remarks: A fairly clean non-powered cab unit rolls east on the CP. The train was running at trackspeed. The unit looked sharp and the strobe lights even worked! |

| Railroad: Amtrak Locomotive: AMTK 71 GE P42DC Location: Downtown City: Milwaukee, Wisconsin Date: 11-09-2008 Remarks: Powered by the same engine that brought me to Milwaukee, the AMTK 71 rolls west the following afternoon. With the clouds having a solid grip and the evening shadows setting in, this was the only train I shot on this day. |
| Railroad: Amtrak Locomotive: AMTK 90368 NPCU Location: West Waterford Ave City: Milwaukee, Wisconsin Date: 11-10-2008 Remarks: So this train was going so fast... just how fast was this train going?? Watch the video. |

 |
| Railroad: BNSF Locomotive: BNSF 2960 Location: Staples Yard City: Staples, Minnesota Date: 11-09-2008 Remarks: Some light snow showers developed while I was waiting for the Empire Builder to arrive for my trip to Milwaukee. Since my train was now running over an hour late, the dispatcher decided to let this M-train depart before Amtrak. |
