Back in 2011, I was hanging around LaGrange, and found the IHB 1520 working the yard in what seemed like an unusual move. From here, the slug set took a cut of about 20 coal cars south out of La Grange... possibly to Argo? Unfortunately, I never got any clarification as to what was happening here, but it was definitely odd to see an SW15 slug set lugging coal down the main.

Back 18 years ago BNSF still served the RIverside NSP plant just west of Northtown Yard. Here BNSF SW15 3455 brings a cut of empty NSPX hoppers back to the Grove Yard from Riverside back in April 2000. Xcel switched to natural gas at Riverside in 2009 and trains now longer run down the street here.

A couple take a walk in the autumn fog, I am lucky enough to live opposite the park and the river so its a great opportunity to do some graphic style street shots in the autumnal gloom.

Some shadow play is at work the day after some decent snowfall to freshen things up. A stack train passes Northtown on the mainline while I was simply trying to get the variety of power in the foreground. Good timing I guess! The SW15 initially caught my attention, and it turns out to be GN 3703 as the BNSF 3703 number is taken by a newer ES44C4.

BN SW15 308 shoves a cut of NSPX coal loads out of the Grove Yard and towards the Riverside Power Plant back in October 1998. Of all the time I spend around Northtown, I think I only caught this semi street running a few times. This plant now burns natural gas and I would guess that the tracks are out of the shoulder of this street here in Minneapolis.

The original war memorial that stood on this site was badly damaged by enemy action during the Second World War. The present memorial was erected in 1952.
