Well, with spring break i just had to go to Northtown. I went and sure am happy. Got there and caught a CSX SD40-2 leading a ex BN SD40-2. Thats in the queue, but it gets better. All the inbounds at northtown were cool, but the CP came up the hill with 3 AC44's. After a little while a BNSF outbound comes up with 3 Dash 9s and a MRL SD45 trailing. The 3rd dash 9 had graffiti on its long hood. Then 2 SD60's come up the hill and wait to get into Northtown. I caught him on the Foley. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=138667 .While that was going on, inbounds outbounds, but the CP brings another train. This time with 2 GP38-2's, SOO 4433 and SOO 4418 go on the old track that serves the industry's to the west of Northtown.
Come back from the mississippi ( we got some bridge shots also ) and we catch a BNSF frieght with two Dash 9's. Then an inbound comes right past it with a BNSF Dash 9 # 4400, and a NS Dash 9. The last train of the day was 3 SD40-2's, the leader 6920 was H1, the last two were ex ATSF. I'll post more pics later.
