On 11/20 sometime after 3:00 am I was trainwatching in Moorhead, MN (across the river from Fargo, ND) on the BNSF. I was at the crossing of the old GN and NP main lines. I saw a frieght backing up going West from the yard in Dilworth about 2-3 miles away. Since it was backing up on the main line it had a caboose with two flares on the back porch. It was pretty cool seeing the caboose brightly lit up from the flares as it slowly glided by. <br /> <br />The train has to back up from the yard in order to clear the switch to go south on the old GN mainline. There is no interchange between the tracks going west->south, only east->south. It was very fun as I got to see the train go by backing up and then again as it proceeded down the south bound track. The Northern Lights were even out.[:)]
