First off if you don't like yard shots and/or roster type shots this thread isn't for you..

Here are my favorites from University Saturday, November 1, 2008.

I had the day off and decided to hang out here for the majority of the afternoon up until sunset.

SOO 6059 still has a bad windshield:

BNSF 6807 heading east as runs opposite a stacker entering Northtown.

Here is a shot of a tac train. There were 3 or 4 of these trains running past yesterday.

Some brief time later I shot several CP trains departing and heading east. To avoid being overly repetative I'll share this shot. I saw that same unit running "light power" just days later while shoot in Union Junction. I'm guessing it was kept there until it was put back into service yesterday. This is by far my favorite angle at University as it give you more to work with than the prominent side shots.

I then shot a BNSF covered hopper to add to my small (but ever increasing) rail car photo collection. I haven't seen many green hoppers with the BNSF Swoosh on them yet.

Geep Bluebonnet with second unit SD40-2 (BNSF 8044) with BN herrald and flag still intact.

I admit, I'm a sucker for units/railcars that are still in pure BN.

"Got to shoot em' while you can."

Good to see and chit chat with you again MilwaukeeRoadMatt, it had been a long while.

Thanks for reading/looking.
