BNSF
Classic
Northtown Yard [Mpls-Fridley] power - the SD9s lasted far longer than most of
the newer units. Andy Inserra
One of the odder repaints - simply proving that
if you hang around BNSF long enough you're bound to see something interesting.

Hanging on with the transfer duties
are a trio of SD9s - seen Sept 5th 2004 at Daytons Bluff in St Paul by Scott

The yard and local power - SW12 and SW15 units pass under
the Soo overpass. Scott Kotnour photo - 1991
The usual power for the hump tracks - a SD39 and slug. Scott
Kotnour photo -1999
Switching tracks at the shops is a
SDP40F - one of the Amtrak ones sold to Santa Fe. With the trimmed front end to
provide walkways for crews it may look a little odd but it survived into the
BNSF era. Here is one of the last - Scott Kotnour photo - 2000
Over at Union Yard next to the University of Minnesota
campus we see the usual pair of BN SW15s that for years could be seen here.

Here is the Wayzata depot,
preserved by the city and still hosting daily freight trains outside the door.
Here is a westbound lead by a BN SD40-2 - Scott Kotnour, 2001
And a classic all-BN photo of SD40-2s and F units at
Dayton's Bluff in St Paul - Scott Kotnour - 1985
