Louie
BNSF 1462 and 129 are on the point of LTWI675 as they head south through Boyd on their way back to Wilmar. Not particularly the most scenic line I've ever seen. And I would rather have seen 1462 on the Watertown or 661. But I guess catching something on the old Louie is still pretty neat.
BNSF operates this portion of the old Minneapolis and Saint Louis from Hanley Falls to Madison. At one time the branch ran from Hopkins, on Minneapolis's west side, to Watertown, Aberdeen, and eventually Leola South Dakota. These days, TCW subsidiary Minnesota Prairie Line operates the line between Norwood Young America and Hanley Falls. And BNSF operates the rest to Madison. Everything else is abandoned today.
