BNSF 8069 Fargo 20 Sep 08
BNSF 8069 leads a trio of EMDs (to include a former SOO SD60) west through Fargo, ND with the M-NTWGFD (Northtown, MN - Grand Forks, ND).
This was a good day trackside. I also caught the other 'M' train bound for Grand Forks, the M-DILGFD with a nice Bluebonnet leader:

The 'M' trains usually ran with nice power, but it wouldn't be too long into the future when the widecabs would dominate. I was short-timing it here as I only had about 3 months left in the northern plains before moving to Colorado for my next assignment. I think I left at about the right time when it came to the power situation...
