One of the odder repaints - simply proving that
if you hang around BNSF long enough you're bound to see something interesting.

the Soo overpass. Scott Kotnour photo - 1991

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
