The First Loads Are Here! |
| Description: |
Transload (I presume) shipments for the Twin Cities & Western's new customer in Eden Prairie had arrived by the second to last weekend in November of '23. These seven gondolas are LGEX carp, and the day after I snapped this photo, I saw these cars were being unloaded by a small bucket loader-type vehicle. (I'm not sure what the commodity being shipped from here is as of yet.) |

Usable parts have been removed by CPKC, so the new owner might be a scrapper. Hail and farewell to the last ex-Milwaukee Road unit on the CPKC, sitting here on home rails one last time. |

Hail The Rock Island! |

The Rock Island logo and "Faribault" station sign adorn the north side of The Depot Bar and Grill, located right next to the patio, which in turn is next to the Spine Line. To think The Rock lives again as a short line in Mississippi! That would be something worth hoisting a beer or two for at the Depot. :-) |

"Great Weedy" All Over Again |
| Description: |
This piece of former Chicago Great Western track curves into and ends at Faribault Foods. What was once the main line is now occupied by a short trail north of here, complete with two trestles over the Cannon River. Progressive Rail has moved shipments for Faribault Foods down to the Faribault Industrial Park, though this piece of the "Great Weedy" seems to be safe regardless. |

An Alco Line Catch At Last! |

I'd frequently failed to catch anything on the old Alco Line between Owatonna and Rochester for years until, at last, this golden oldie fell into my hands. The unit was apparently being used for switching at Claremont's ethanol plant, Al-Corn Clean Fuel. This baby is my first "tunnel motor" in quite awhile too. |

Revival Delayed |

A shipper was about to have Progressive Rail transport aggregate from down by the old Milwaukee Road depot when, alas, the COVID pandemic struck and put paid to that customer. The tracks were being groomed for revival, but now the weeds have returned. Hopefully that shipper will try again soon, reviving these old Milwaukee rails. |

I Did It Again |
| Description: |
When I first visited Faribault's Milwaukee Road depot in the summer of 1995, I was so taken by the name stamped on the platform's bricks that (to my brother's bemusement!) I snapped a picture. Revisiting the depot with my railfan friend Andy in 2023, I snapped another photo of these bricks, because I'd forgotten the name stamped on them: Flint Co. That brickmaker sure took pride in its work, no? |

Just Gotta Get Both |

The Depot At Last! |

I've long wanted to photograph the Roseport depot, having seen it in other railfan's photographs. At last, late on a Saturday afternoon that had a storm looming up from the southwest (visible in the upper right corner), I finally got my own shot of the depot. The parked Uncle Pete units was a nice touch. |

I thought I'd blown my only chance to bag this train, but lo and behold, there it was at the east end of the yard early on a Wednesday evening a week after I first saw the train! There are second chances in life, my friends. |

Still By The Yard Office |
| Description: |
This GP20C-ECO is still down by the yard office at Humboldt a few weeks after I last saw it there. Looks like she got moved a little, but not by much. Must still be using her for classes. |

CGW North Channel Trestle |
| Description: |
The Chicago Great Western crossed two trestles on Faribault's northeast side due to the Cannon River being split into two channels there. This trestle, now carrying a city trail, is on the river's north channel. North of here the old CGW has been erased by development for a few blocks before the Sakatah Singing Trail picks back up again on an intact stretch of grade. |

CGW South Channel Trestle |
| Description: |
The Chicago Great Western crossed two trestles on Faribault's northeast side due to the Cannon River being split into two channels there. This trestle, now carrying a city trail, is on the river's south channel. To think Alco RS-1s and RS-3s once crossed this bridge. (Sigh) Those were the days... |
