Here is something I have never seen before. That engine is on the front of a BNSF freight idling under the Snelling Avenue overpass. I have seen BNSF stuff painted lots of different ways over the years, mostly as a result of the series of mergers that brought the current corporate form into existence. This one, however, looks to be a partnership with a foreign rail line.
My Spanish is even more rudimentary than my French but there is a sign on there celebrating ten years of existence. And sure enough, a short search reveals that FerroMex is the largest railroad in Mexico and it has been in existence for eleven years. It is very unusual to see a power plant owned by someone other than the railroad on whose tracks the train is running.There is going to be a lot of this in the next few weeks. Here is a maple turned mostly orange against today's brilliant blue sky.
Nantes lost to Reims, 2-1, and currently stand 13th in the table.

Great train photo. Ferromex. Great name for a railroad. And you apparently picked up the vocabulary of trains somewhere.
Fall seems to be falling faster where you are -- no trees are that color here, yet.
