Echoes Of Dakota Rail
Title:  Echoes Of Dakota Rail
Description:  Here comes the Minnesota Commercial's Hugo Job late on a lovely Sunday morning. The train is approaching a private grade crossing northeast of the South Owasso Blvd grade crossing. The black "raise flanger" sign, the jointed rail, and the front yard reminded me of how Dakota Rail (and the BN/GN beforehand), crossed through residential front yards out in Minnetonka Beach, MN.

Approaching Snelling
