All coupled up but staying put |
| Description: |
We are outside PGR's Bloomington freight house in thip photo. It looks like the 36 is ready to roll here. Well it technically is, but it is shut off and resting beneath mild June skies this evening. Track in the right background junctions with another spur just south of the grade crossing in the distance. |

Out of the freight house |
| Description: |
The 36 sits outside the freight house grounds lashed to a short cut of cars. Note: "sun glare" beyond the 36's nose is due in part to the camera setting. |

Centerbeam flatcars and office parks |
| Description: |
It is downright amazing that Progressive Rail's freight house and surroundinc tracks like these are plunked down in what is now office park-ville. They sure ship a lot of lumber on the Hi-Line. |

Far from the ex-C&NW |
| Description: |
These UP units are in Minnesota but are far from the ex-C&NW rails they normally traverse. Today they are the motive power for a short BNSF train consisting of empty ex-BN and AT&SF ballast hoppers. The crew got stopped by red signals in Long Lake for about thirty minutes or so until they finally got cleared on through. |

Proceed with caution? |
| Description: |
BNSF dispatch halted this eastbound mixed manifest in Long Lake for a short while; then the crew was cleared to proceed. It looks like the crew had a pair of Dash-nines for power, but the lead unit could have been newer; I did not get the number. The signal sure showed up good in this zoom shot. I take it the yellow over red signal informs the engineer to proceed with caution? |

| Description: |
We are further up the TC&W here. Lake Street is visible in the distance. At right we find a townhome development that was built on former rail yard property. These homes block easy rebuilding of a track along the alignment taken by those which used to pass under the now-vacant space beneath the Lake Street bridge. |

We are now looking north along the contested corridor from by the town homes. The line crosses Cedar Lake Parkway after rounding the curve. The townhomes at left will not yield to co-locating freight and light rail here without a struggle. However, had the land they occupy been left vacant, this problem would not have resulted. |

The rail line of contention--View three |
| Description: |
Now we are looking towards Lake St. along the old Tootin' Louie main line. These rails had lain dormant from 1994 to 1998, when the Twin Cities & Western was re-routed onto them when the 29th Street corridor was severed by the Hiawatha Avenue/Hwy. 55 rebuild. Today it is at the center of a dispute between Minneapolis and St. Louis Park thanks to the latter city's request for the TC&W to remain here when the Southwest LRT line is built. |

The rail line of contention--view one |
| Description: |
We are standing on the former Minneapolis & St. Louis main line a block or two south of Lake Street. We are looking southwest towards where the line starts to curve as it heads for where it is spliced into the former Milwaukee Road in the vicinity of Bass Lake and Elevator yards in St. Louis Park. Whether or not freight trains will still roll here has become a bone of contention between the Water City and The Park thanks to the Southwest LRT line being slated to come through here. |

The rail line of contention--View four |
| Description: |
We are up at Lake Street now, and still looking northeast. Note how there is room for at least two other tracks beneath the bridge at left. This is a holdover from when yard trackage along the old Louie was thick as noodles in a soup. You could theoretically route the freight line through there without needing to rebuild the bridge and put the tow LRT tracks under the bridge deck in the center provided the overhead wire could be fitted into the bridge as it currently is. |

Grain on the move again |

The crew of this eastbound grain train had to stop for a red signal over in Long Lake. Now they are getting a wheel into the train again as they pass County Road 15 eastbound again. It is interesting all three units are dash nines modeling three different paint jobs! My pick? Why, the ex-Santa Fe Warbonnet, of course. |

Close to vanished home rails |
| Description: |
This ex-C&NW ribside hopper was one of at least two I saw in a "blocked" cut of cars along the TC&W in SLP on this unusually cool evening on the last day of July, 2013. The fact it is sitting directly across form the former M&St.L/C&NW line to Hopkins and points south is poigant; this car and its compatriot are close to now-vanished home rails. Note how the old C&NW number has been retained. |

Looking at dash nines from my home |
| Description: |
The perks of having a virtually trackside apartment net pictures like these lead units that had four others behind them along with a general manifest. The crew were stopped by the dispatcher at the moment I snapped this from my apartment. |

Warbonnet! |
| Description: |
I love it whenever Warbonnets pass by on the Wayzata sub, even BNSF-ized ones from 1996. |

SD40-2! |
| Description: |
I love these veteran ex-BN SD40-2s. I grew up with these babies. This one was one of three ex-BN units hitching a ride from Willmar on an eastbound manifest. |

Midway's yard goats |
| Description: |
The yard power at BNSF Midway yard rests in between switching baretables. Is the 1896 a former "tunnel motor"? The long nose seems to indicate so. |

Big lashup in the trees |
| Description: |
One of the gripes of photographing eastbounds at Bandana Square is the trees that have sprouted along the fence bordering the property. This means this big lashup is, well, "in the trees" as a result. |

A "cool" catch! |
| Description: |
The highlight of a five-unit lashup on an eastbound CP mixed manifest was this ICE unit. The folks kibitzing with each other at the soccer game are blase about it, natch. |
