Despite the -27 degree windchill, I was out taking pictures.

The day started with a short chase of a BNSF westbound worm train from Minneapolis out to Wayzata.
First, passing the Bunge elevator in Minneapolis;

Then crossing the Mississippi;

After lunch I was close enough that I decided to stop at Hoffman and see what was there...it didn't disappoint.
A couple leased units were sitting by the shops, GCFX 3090 and NREX 6475;

A pair of BNSF geeps were sitting in the Belt Yard;

A CP freight did a crew change while the Transfer 1 waited;

Then a eastbound BNSF went by with a SD39 trailing;

A westbound string of baretables was next in line;

A renumbered SD60M (my third) was the trailing unit;

I decided to head for home in the roundabout way, stopping at Northtown.
Just as I arrived, a westbound was entering the yard;

Finding University devoid of coal hoppers, I stopped for a short while;

And I'll throw in my one pic from today, simply because it continues the theme of being really cold...
