So Close They Tripped The Signals
Title:  So Close They Tripped The Signals
Description:  The first non-exempt grade crossing along the old MN&S main in Lakeville is at Dodd Avenue. This PGR crew was so close to the crossing they tripped the signals for a time (one of the crew soon disembarked to go pick up a drink and a snack from a nearby Marathon station).

Ghost Of The MN&S At Dodd Avenue
Title:  Ghost Of The MN&S At Dodd Avenue
Description:  I found this unit south of Dodd Avenue whilst one of the crew got some "beans" from a nearby Marathon station. The 37 looks so much like an Minneapolis, Northfield, & Southern unit it is only the ditch lights that remind you it is not a ghost from the days of the MN&S past.
