At Last! (Part Two) |
| Description: |
The southbound 0630 crosses Minnehaha Creek in fine style at the bridge located on Brookside Avenue on the SLP-Edina border. I knew the crossing gate would get into the photo, and my camera flash came on due to shadows cast by the rising sun, but I am quite satisfied with this picture. |

My O. Winston Link Moment |
| Description: |
A private crossing off of Brookside Avenue south of the Minnehaha Creek bridge on the old MN&S main (aka the MN&S Spur) provided a handy parking place. I decided to incorporate my Chevy Cruze into this picture, thus making this picture my O. Winston Link moment. |

Northbound Cars First |
| Description: |
The 0630 crew pulls out the northbound cars from the consist. The hopper car contains salt from J.B. Hill Company in St. Louis Park, while the six boxcars were picked up at Western Avenue Yard in Golden Valley. I do not know where the Hill Salt car is going, probably it was up to Humboldt, but the boxcars were probably going to an industry located east of Glenwood Junction that CP serves. |

Northbound Cars Onto Nesbitt |
| Description: |
The 0630 crew pushes seven northbound cars onto Nesbitt Siding. After they drop off the interchange for Progressive Rail at Nesbitt, they will run up to the other end of the siding, couple on, and take the Hill Salt car probably to Humboldt Yard and the boxcars to an industry located east of Glenwood Junction that Canadian Pacific serves. The 0630's crew is thus only halfway through their work on this fine Labor Day 2015. |
