Well, on Monday i went biking with my friend. It started out slow, but we caught the WC on the hill up to New Brighton ( thats always our main objective ) and then continued to NorthTown. Saw a couple SD40-2's switching, so we headed for Humboldt. Nothing there either So we went to eat at MC D's. We went back to NorthTown and then it got busy. BNSF 7035 comes into the yard with 2 other units.

I saw the 1418 a few days earlier dropping off at Dayton's Bluff. But the 1700 - quite a catch to say the least. I wonder if it will stay in the area a bit for transfers and such.

And a B8-39!
