First Sighting |
| Description: |
After we found that the train was not yet at Granite Falls, we continued South until we ran into him here at Cottonwood. The 8376 is also sporting a nice new Air Blast K5LA as a bonus! |

CSXT 8376 |
| Description: |
Is has been all too long since I've been able to shoot, or even see, a Dark Future 83 or 84 series SD40-2. Today the railfan gods were on my side as this C&O SD40 found itself on the point of a local in Southern Minnesota! |

Tales of the past |
| Description: |
The L-TWI669 slams the diamond at Granite Falls. The Milwaukee Road was the owner of the tracks to the right, and their searchlight signals still stand today to guard this interlocking. The line is now owned by the TC&W and about 10 minutes before this guy showed up the TC&W 3516 led a train over the diamond, so yes, It is still very much in use. |

Colorful |
| Description: |
What a first day of summer! A consist like this is something that I wouldn't have drempt about in my wildest dreams in todays age, but due to an ethonal train off the CSX (and the fact that they put a Dash 2 as power) earlier in the day, the local was given that power to bring back to Wilmar. Oh, and the locals power isn't bad either! |

Still hummin' |
| Description: |
An engine that is running out of time on all railroads, the SD40-2. But today I was treated to this rebuilt SD40 in great paint, plus a BN Green SD40-2 along with a repainted and rebuilt BNSF SD45-2(now an SD40-2). Hopefully these types of things can continue to be found. |

Even though I love CSX, I was extremely thankful that this unit was not leading! |

The 7951 is still running, although many of the other SD40-2's out on this portion of the railroad have been stored lately. Definately a nice engine! |
