A load of Powder River coal waiting one of the Great Northern's bridges in Minneapolis, likely WPSX coal hoppers probably bound for Dairyland or Columbia in Wisconsin (per my brother, big thanks!) Probably waiting at a signal, trains often sit there but I'm not familiar enough to confirm. Nice spot for the crews to wait however!

Shot from my phone through a dirty 19th story window during lunch break, so pardon the quality.

I caught a video drive-by of a WPSX westbound in a local yard last weekend, similar hoppers and colors. Wonder if it was same train or just a similar pool? This train didn't move before break ended so I couldn't compare my video to a roll by for patterns, and my brother wouldn't leave his work to try to cut it off at Prescot :)
