Punched In Steel |
| Description: |
The date of the Rock Island swing bridge's completion was punched in steel above both ends of the railway part of the combined road/rail bridge. The western end survives as the gateway into Swing Bridge Park, and still proudly proclaims "1894" to all who care to look. |

Where The Rock Once Ruled |
| Description: |
This is the former Rock Island right-of-way, as viewed from looking east from the site of the wye west of the bridge. The trail now leads to both the bridge and a scenic overlook of the site. To think the likes of the "Twin Star Rocket" once rolled through this corridor. |

Former Rock Island Wye, North Leg |
| Description: |
This is the north leg of the former Rock Island Wye at Swing Bridge Park. Rails remained intact on the wye until the park was created and trail replaced rail. The power lines in the distance mark the Union Pacific's ex-C&NW exx-CGW line. |

Tracks! |
| Description: |
The trail leading up to the Rock Island Swing Bridge pier has this piece of track next to it. I do not know if the city of Inver Grove Heights kept a piece of old Rock Island track or bought new, but whatever the provenance of these rails, ties, etc., this bit of track is a nice touch. |

Classy Gateway To The Pier |
| Description: |
The west portal of the old Rock Island swing bridge was preserved to be the gateway for the Swing Bridge Pier. Nice touch. The former RI roadbed, now used as a walking path, is to the right. To think the "Rockets" once passed through this portal. |

From Bridge To Pier |
| Description: |
Once an imposing combined road/rail swing bridge stood here, across which rolled vehicular traffic and the trains of the grand old Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific. The bridge remained intact for decades after the Rock shut down, being operated as a toll bridge until a bad section forced the owners of the bridge to cease operations. Age and decay eventually caught up to the venerable 1894 structure, requiing that it be mostly removed with half the piers and two sections retained as a pier on the Mississippi River. |

From Signal Base To Flowerpot |
| Description: |
This signal base can be found on the south leg of the former Rock Island wye at Swing Bridge Park. The signal that once was seen by the engineers of Twin City bound "Rockets" is long gone, but its base remains, serving now as a fancy flowerpot for trailside plants. |

Former Rock Island Wye, South Leg |
| Description: |
This is the south leg of the former Rock Island wye at the site of the Inver Grove swing bridge. Since Rock Island passenger trains rarely passed through the Inver Grove yard, it was this track on the wye which chiefly saw the passage of the "Rockets" and other Twin City are RI varnish. Note the signal base at far left. |

Former CGW South Of Kenyon |
| Description: |
A large chunk of the former Chicago Great Western main line remains largely intact south of Kenyon, still paralleling County 56. Perhaps the reason the route was located in a substantial cut here has deterred farmers from wiping out the line. Whatever the reason for its survival, this is one of the best preserved stretches of CGW grade in Minnesota. There is even a piece of a telegraph pole and another CGW relic to be found along this stretch of grade. |

Where The Trail Begins |
| Description: |
This is the start of the Sakatah Singing Hills trail east of Lyndale Avenue North in Faribault. The trail runs along the former Chicago Great Western route to Mankato. The bridge in the foreground may be a CGW vintage trestle, but I will need to take a closer look to confirm or deny this. |

What An Outrage! |
| Description: |
We are looking south towards Pioneer Trail while along the old Louie main line at the start of Chaska Hill. For years the trail has been closed here because, apparently, Three Rivers Parks lacks the money to fix damage caused by mudslides! Were the old Louie still in use, however, the line would have been reopened long before. This is a graphic example of why rail trails are not beneficial to preserving the integrity of rail corridors. The trail owners drag their feet on making repairs! Oh for the return of Lucian C. Sprague and the glory days of the Minneapolis & St. Louis. Mr. Sprague would have had Chaska Hill fixed in no time, my friends. |

The Trail That Replaced Long Gone Rail |
| Description: |
Now we are just west of I-35 on the Lakeville trail that replaced the long gone rails of the Milwaukee Road's Hastings & Dakota Division here. Judging by how the grade is gone east of Kendrick Avenue and west of the business you see in the distance, this hunk of grade was obviously wild and overgrown before Lakeville decided to route one of its trails along it. |

Rail And Trail |
| Description: |
The reason the Luce Line's Crow River bridge is a mix of rail and trail is because the trestle approach spans were torn out post-abandonment but the center span was retained. The result was this hybrid when the trail was built. Shame about those trestle approach spans, but you can still smell the railroad on the center span. |

End Of Track |
| Description: |
End of track on the old spur I found near the old Milwaukee Road/Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern crossing in Lakeville. I cannot locate this track in any photos of when the crossing was in use, so my best guess is that this track was put in to serve a now-gone shipper after the Milwaukee Road left Lakeville. |

...Now You Do |
| Description: |
Past a dirt patch, the disused spur's rails emerge again, though sod, not ballast, has been what's holding them together for eons. |

Overgrown Spur |
| Description: |
This disused spur track located in Lakeville is now heavily overgrown, as is customary for such disused pieces of railway. Apparently the track connected to the old Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern in the upper left background. |
