That consist in photo #3 is certainly an odd one.   If you saw it on a model railroad it just would not look realistic.   I always enjoyed seeing B units absent their A unit counterparts amongst hood units for some reason.  The BN was very good at offering such consists in the 70's.

Photo #1 is fantastic ! Besides the great line up of 40' Box Cars, the pole line details are interesting and you can make out the Interlocking Tower at Carlton in the distance. First Class image !

#2 had to be near the end of this operation.  BN abandoned the ex-NP line from Brainard, MN, about this time.  They may have
had trackage rights over the DWP for a while, I can't recall.  I can be corrected on this.  Nice photos, Marty, thanks for posting.
