SP tunnel motors in Minnesota |
| Description: |
I believe this was an experiment by BN to see how this particular set of engines handled tunnels out west. They were on an eastbound coal train heading towards LaCrosse when I got some pictures of them at Oakland Tower on the south end of BNs Daytons Bluff Yard. |

Stillwater Local |
| Description: |
Wished I had gotten a shot a bit closer, but this is the westbound Stillwater Local just leaving White Bear Lake at M&D Jct heading for Daytons Bluff. The little SWs were the only engines allowed on this line in the last 10 years, and the train typically had 10-20 boxcars and flats from Andersen Window. |

Railroad Crossing |
| Description: |
Here is a shot looking north at Duluth Juntion in rural Washington County in the summer of 1980, as the scrappers were up north beginning to remove the 15 mile line. Where I am standing there had been a connecting track between the two lines, as Soo Line had actually run trains on the NP tracks in the early 1900s to Stillwater. The BN ran a 5 day a week local to Stillwater until March, 1982 and the Soo Line quit using this line in about the 1972-74 time frame. |

Back in the early 80s alot of track everywhere was looking pretty shaky, and this was one place. The CNW/UP has a small yard near the Mississippi River that is the primary route now to access the old Rock Island main to KC. This is looking south at one of the yard tracks that could use some attention. |

30 mph to Hinckley! |
| Description: |
I am going to close out this album with a shot from my car at 72 mph chasing a one car local going for the quit on the former NP route at Pine City. The Milwaukee Road crews were known for running 60-65 mph on this line(speed limit was 50), but this little Tasmanian Local beat all of them this day! I remembbr wondering if a cop would be over the next rise in the road as I attempted to chase this train for a few miles and finally gave up as he sped away for the tie up,at Hinckley yard, as I tie up my photo journey with you from all these years ago! |

Soo Line in the noruh woods |
| Description: |
I have another album of photos on this line, but I liked this one for the pole line and nice, clean snow as the train headed north to Danbury with a few more empties for log loading. This was the last full winter that the trains ran to Danbury. |

End of the line |
| Description: |
After the merger with Soo Line, a string of U-boats awaits their fate at Soos Shoreham Yard. This was a frigid day in early 1986 and the 5803 was the sister unit to 5802, which pulled the very, last train on the Milwaukee from Tacoma on 3/15/1980. |

The BNs local is just leaving Hinckley, MN on the big curve that realigned the NP onto the GN when the NP was abandoned north of here in 1976. The local will head to Beroun, Pine City and finally Rush City where a large grain elevator received service 4 to 5 days a week. This is still served by the St. Croix Valley RR. |
