Why I Love Minnesota Part 1

For those that don't know, the Twin Cities of St.Paul and Minneapolis are a railroading mecca. What was the GN, NP and Milwaukee Road has yielded to the BNSF, CN, CP, UP, Progressive Rail, Minnesota Commercial and Amtrak. On any given day you will see those plus power from NS, CSX and KCS.

BNSF C44-9W #4030 Leads the lineup at Midway Yard, taking the Z train to Chicago.

BNSF C44-9W #723, stuck in the middle.

CSX C40-8W following along.
I thought I would also toss in a picture of the BNSF GP60B #341, sitting on the storage line at Northtown, mixed in with a few of the remaining SD40-2s.
