Copied from my post on the Yahoo Group TwinCitiesRail:
Hello everybody, while I don't make it to the Twin Cities much at all to
railfan, today was a different story. I had to bring my brother down to
Roseville for an apt. I snooped around the MNNR areas, but come to find nothing.
So then i worked my way west and eventually found the BNSF Northtown Yard. I
parked and set up shop at the St Anthony bridge, and while i was only there for
maybe a half hour or so, i snapped away at what i could see and here is a list:
BNSF 8130 (Stored SD60M's):

still be having issues with one of their engines if this one is still out. I
caught it up in Elk River on March 29th

seeing these two together, as i have not seen too many times where 2 blue and
yellow warbonnets are together.
I have a number of other pictures on my site as well
http://www.flickr.com/photos/21929373@N05/ ...Sure had fun catching all that i
did in the short amount of time that I had. I've had fellow railfans tell me
about the area so i decided to check it out, and I'll defiantly be down again,
and perhaps check out University, which i hear is a great spot, and also down by
the shops, where I hear and have seen in pics, power sitting out and close in
for shots. Thanks for looking and have a great day!
