Rolling By Where There Were Many Tracks Once Upon A Time |
| Description: |
The returning St. Paul Turn lesuirely rolls along at 10 MPH past where, on the left, was once solid tracks in the M&ST.L's Kenwood yard. Today a trail is what occupies most of the site save for a sole surviving mainline track. Making for easy railfanning on public property once privately owned by the Louie and, later, the Chicago and North Western. Interesting to relate: When the Minnesota Valley Railway once interchanged with the Soo and the CNW in this area, their motive power laid over on a now-gone siding in this location awaiting the arrival of the CNW with their portion of the interchange. Shame that short line is now gone. Would loved to have seen that. |

I decided to get a seperate roster view of it because of how it was facing the opposite direction from the three other units in the parked quartet I found by the Hopkins depot. |

Thunder In Downtown Chan |
| Description: |
The tranquility of downtown Chan on a cool. breezy Monday evening in early June is spiced by the thunder of the westbound Glencoe Turn. Here the train is passing Walgreens and about to cross Market Blvd on its trip west. The crew have a healthy cut of cars strung out behind the two units carrying all the mixed commodities the Twin Cities & Western hauls. |

GP10! |
| Description: |
I remember seeing the TC&W's GP10s in action shortly after they began operations. Padcuah Geeps are cool, but I only ever got a few shots of the TC&W ones until most of them left the roster. The last two later wound up on affiliate Red River Valley and Western. Lo and behold: look what the middle unit was on this train in from the west end! |

Idling On The Main Track |
| Description: |
I am used to finding TCWR units down by the former Milwaukee Road depot, but normally they are on the side track. These two units were idling down by the depot on the main track this morning. My cell phone camera came in handy since I had left my regular camera at home. |

Stopped In The "Bottleneck" |
| Description: |
The eastbound St. Paul Turn waits south of Cedar Lake Parkway for a green signal on a gorgeous September Saturday morning. The train is waiting in the southern end of the "bottleneck" which stretches between Cedar Lake and Lake Street along the Kenilworth Corridor, which has been a bone of contention in the "relocate freight rail/co-located freight rail with LRT" debate. |
