NS and CSX in New Brighton MN. I was driving by the junction with the MN Commercial and CP when I saw this NS unit. Usually only see CP and CN power.

When I took this pic I noticed that behind it to the west on the CP line a train was waiting...with another NS unit at the head end.

The lead unit started moving past me within five minutes after I arrived...

...and then notched up the speed quickly, revealing two CSX units behind it. Bit of a smoke show too.

The long train headed to the East toward Dresser, WI.

Just a case of good timing on my part
