Leasers on the BN |
| Description: |
Yes, this is a BNSF train with SD40-2s for power. I saw this guy on my way home after dropping Josh off at Hastings and hauled ass to beat it to Cottage Grove with only a few minutes to spare. One of the best lashups I've seen on the BNSF during 2011! |

After running around their train in Albertville, the Monti Job starts to work its way back down the line. It would spot a car of two in Albertville and a car in Rogers before going back to Osseo and Northtown. This is a shot that can only be taken on a cloudy day, thankfully it wasn't too dark for this shot. |
