Hello again! |
| Description: |
When I first saw this unit working the Hi-Line, it's number was 2347. On This b}eezy, deliciously mild mid-June evening the now-renumbered (and re-painted) unit is at Lyndale Siding on the Hi-Line. The 34 is lashed to a couple hoppers. I hfve it on good authority this unit was used down in the Lakeville-Northfield area for a time. |

What was the 34 doing here? |
| Description: |
The southbound PGR "High Line" local had a short cut of covered hoppers in tow as it crossed 86th Street this day... and had PGR 34 bringing up the rear, apparently idling but unmanned. Why was this, anybody know? |

Switching In Suburbia |
| Description: |
Office parks border the spur track in PGR's freight house, resulting in views like this when crews switch it. On this gorgeous late April afternoon, the PGR crew goes about its duties while workers at their cubicles go about their workdays in a more ho hum manner. (It's "Office Space" meets "Brewster's Millions" out here.) |

Switching Amidst Industry |
| Description: |
The PGR crew has pulled ahead on a switching move south of 86th Street. I do not know if they were switching an industry, or sorting out stored cars. The industry in the background provides a swell backdrop for the two locomotives whose paint schemes are virtually identical to that used by the Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern, which once operated this line. |

Parked Separately |

Usually Progressive Rail's Dan Patch Line power can be found coupled together at the open air "shops" west of Lyndale Avenue on the old Hi-Line. This mild Saturday afternoon, however, they were decoupled with PGR 34 on the spur into Ziegler CAT and PGR 36 out on the main. Perhaps the 34 was awaiting repairs of some sort? |
