The no hump track at NTW has been looking more like the strage tracks at the Amtrak depot. With the recent shots of the new Business car for the NSR a few weeks ago, today I found two former Copper King Express cars. Good shots from the 44th bridge for those who care to venture out in the gloomy weather, ME 802 http://milwaukeeroadmatt.rrpicturearchi ... id=1974250 ME 805 http://milwaukeeroadmatt.rrpicturearchi ... id=1974252 Also the BNSF 1885 former BNSF yard goat 6805 has returned for servicing this along with three recent renumber BNSF SD40-2's (1593, 1594 & 1986) have all been spotted in the last few days. Also of note the BNSF 7878 & 7879 have been absent from the hump sets so I would assume they are in the shop for servicing and will come out with new numbers aswell. BNSF 1593 http://milwaukeeroadmatt.rrpicturearchi ... id=1970287 BNSF 1594 http://milwaukeeroadmatt.rrpicturearchi ... id=1968740 BNSF 1885 http://milwaukeeroadmatt.rrpicturearchi ... id=1974241 Happy hunting everyone Matt |

Why are they renumbering them? Is BNSF going to order even more Gevos? |

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): http://www.flickr.com/photos/21929373@N05/4516250833/ BNSF 1594: http://www.flickr.com/photos/21929373@N05/4516885774/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/21929373@N05/4516883846/ BNSF 6220: http://www.flickr.com/photos/21929373@N05/4516884518/ UTAX 12: http://www.flickr.com/photos/21929373@N05/4516247713/ Northstar must 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 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/21929373@N ... 052292699/) BNSF 4125/4212: http://www.flickr.com/photos/21929373@N05/4516883198/ BNSF 2779/3032: http://www.flickr.com/photos/21929373@N05/4516881562/ I liked 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! -Jacob J. Nelson (Princeton, MN) |

Not sure if it was a local or a manifest, I was too far away. But for us EMD fans it was a sweet lash-up. An orange 1930 was on point, an H1 82xx and a Santa Fe blue bonnet (unable to get the number) came in on the north runner behind Home Depot. The third was likely a 3000 series GP40X. |
