What Industry is This? |
| Description: |
This industry is located on a spur a block east of Lyndale and 86th Avenue. What industry is this? An article in a February, 1999, issue of RailNews says an industry named Chemrex was located off the old MN&S "High Line" at 86th Street and took tank cars loaded with alcohol. But covered hoppers parked on that spur track now. |

There They Go |

There goes a six-unit lashup on the head end of an eastbound general freight. Most, if not all, of these units are coming into the Twin Cities from the BNSF yard at Willmar. I wish I was able to ID all six of these units. The best I can guess is that the ex-BN unit you see is a GP-something still in virtually intact BN paint. |

No less than six units (of which I got the road numbers for five) is on the point of this eastbound general freight. Incidentally, this train was briefly stopped by the dispatcher before the crew was cleared to proceed east. The hogger was getting a wheel back into the train when I snapped this picture. |

Bad Order Tank Car? |
| Description: |
I was surprised to find this tank car sitting on the former Dakota Rail interchange trackage BNSF now uses for random purposes. I can only assume it was a bad order car that got left here by a recent train. |

Looking Better Than Ever |
| Description: |
The venerable former Milwaukee Road Hopkins depot looks better than ever as it basks in the glow of an unusually lukewarm July sun. I am glad to see the Canadian Pacific is taking such good care of this place. |

Along For The Ride To Willmar |
| Description: |
A westbound general freight prepares to "split the signals" as it rumbles through town. Note how exhaust is coming from only the first two units. The other three are along for the ride to Willmar. Note how there are at least two ex-Santa Fe units in this lashup, as well as the KCS unit rolling along far from home rails. |
