U-NSIELU |
| Description: |
Two matched former Conrail SD40-2s bring a crude oil train up and through University. Never in my life did I think that I would see a pair of these get out of helper service and make their way to MN. I ended up getting this guy in three spots despite the poor condition's out. |

Pair of Q units |
| Description: |
Power on todays Monti was a matched pair of former 'Q' units. I know for a fact that the engineer loved running these units. What a rare move, first time since 1982 that casks have gone up and a pair of former Q GP40s... |

Rolling through Rogers |

While track speed is 25 mph, chasing the Monti Local can be fairly difficult thanks to stop lights along the way. Here the Monti Local rolls through Rogers; I had barely any time to get to the tracks a set up for this shot from Dayton, MN. |
