BNSF Train - St. Paul, MN

from flickr user Steve55126
I don't pretend to know much about train but there is a certain allure about them. A powerful locomotive (or two or three or more) pulling hundreds of tons of steel loaded with coal, grain, dry goods or virtually anything else with nothing constraining them other than two rails of steel. This BNSF train, pulling empty coal cars, is snaking its way through St. Paul, MN on a sunny January day -- probably heading somewhere to load up with yet more coal.

The Replacements at Midway Stadium - St. Paul, MN

from flickr user Caryn Rose
For the first time in 23 years, legendary Minneapolis band "The Replacements" returned to the Twin Cities to play in the final concert of Midway Stadium's history on Saturday night. The two-plus hour show was part of a reunion tour for "The Replacements" as they have toured playing various venues and festivals in recent months. I, for one, hope that they don't forget about their roots and return again before another 23 years passes.
