Great Northern train headed from Mpls yard at University of MN to Wazata in 1967. |
| Description: |
This train is in back of the main Mpls MN GN depot on a sunny day in 1967. The main GN mainline ran from Mpls via St. Cloud to Seattle and runs by Northtown. The secondary GN mainline is still in use by the BNSF and ran from the Mpls Jct wye past Wazata on Lake Minnetonka to Willmar. Some of the GN F units survived on the BN to 1984. The curved tracks to the right are the depot track leads to the Mpls GN depot. The MTM saved one of the GN F units stored at Jackson St. in St Paul, but it was repainted NP. Hopefully someday they can power it up and repaint it in its true GN colors. The MTM roundhouse at Jackson St. in St Paul has about 8 GN passenger cars saved in GN paint and runs train rides in Osceola Mn 30 min out of St Paul past Stillwater. Train rides are Sat from 10-4. |

| Title: |
The Great Northern Empire Builder at the GN Mpls MN Depot in 1969. |
| Description: |
This train is headed to Chicago via St Paul MN. The Mpls MN main GN depot served trains by the GN, NP, CNW, CB&Q, and CGW. At its peak this depot serviced over 125 passenger trains per day. The Mpls post office is to the left and remains today. The Milwaukee Road, CNW, and Soo Line used the three tracks to the left on a grade to get out of the Mississippi River valley and get access to their grain elevators and also to the Milwaukee Road depot. |
