The Retired, And The Still Running |
| Description: |
A study in contrasts at Pig's Eye Yard: A retired Soo Line vet sits in the shop complex coupled to a youthful Canadian Pacific unit still on the roster. Well, at least the 4416 never saw a brush of CP red, living its life out entirely in Soo's hallowed paint scheme. |

Dual Flag Out To Pasture |
| Description: |
A venerable "dual flag" SD40-2 sits at Pig's Eye Yard on a cloudy, rainy Saturday afternoon. The fact she's in the dead line eloquently speaks as to how this veteran unit is now out to pasture, destined to not wear CPKC paint. |

"Wait. That's New." |
| Description: |
At first I hadn't planned on taking pictures of Progressive Rail's Lakeville headquarters after finding no locomotives down by it late on a Saturday afternoon, but as I was driving out, I saw the sign warning about remote controlled locomotives you see here. "Wait. That's new," I said aloud to myself, so I turned around, came back, and got this shot. PGR is using remove engines now at Airlake? |

Thank You! |
| Description: |
As the CPKC Shakopee job was preparing to enter Valley Park Yard early on a Saturday evening, the conductor (the gent in the hi-viz vest at left) saw me as he was standing in the road after lining the switch off the main, noticed I was a railfan, and tapped his ears to warn me the air horns were about to sound. Thank you! You are a kind railroader, sir, and a credit to your company. |

I Hope the Dan Patch Historical Society Can Save This |
| Description: |
"1926" remains proudly engraved in the east abutment of the remnants of the MN&S Lynn Avenue bridge. I hope the Dan Patch Historical Society can save this part of the bridge once it's fully replaced, like the St. Louis Park Historical Society did with the "1912" engraved into the old Milwaukee Road Minnehaha Creek bridge. |

Top View |

A top view of the remnants of the old MN&S Lynn Avenue bridge, looking west/northwest. These leftovers will probably remain until whenever CPKC decides to upgrade and reopen the line, which will mean a new bridge on a higher grade at Lynn Avenue. |

Rusty And Cut |

The rusty, cut rails on the east side of the site of the MN&S Lynn Avenue bridge soak up the sun late on a Wednesday afternoon. The fallen brush at right gives a stark example of the cleanup work required whenever CPKC decides to make something of the line once more. |

The First Loads Are Here! |
| Description: |
Transload (I presume) shipments for the Twin Cities & Western's new customer in Eden Prairie had arrived by the second to last weekend in November of '23. These seven gondolas are LGEX cars, and the day after I snapped this photo, I saw these cars were being unloaded by a small bucket loader-type vehicle. (I'm not sure what the commodity being shipped from here is as of yet.) |
