The Depot on a Sunday Afternoon |
| Description: |
Apparently The Depot Bar and Grill, operating out of the old Rock Island depot on the Spine Line, isn't open Sundays. At least it wasn't open on the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend 2023, when my friend Andy and I paid a visit. No matter. The station was as cool as ever. |

An Alco Line Catch At Last! |
| Description: |
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 |
| Description: |
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? |

Quiet Yard On A Sunday Afternoon |
| Description: |
All was quiet at the former Chicago Great Western yard in Randolph on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend 2023. The yard is now half the size it once was, but that hasn't impeded current operator Progressive Rail any in breathing new life into this spot on the old Great Western. |

Waiting Interchange |

Just Gotta Get Both |
| Description: |
Even with an ominous storm looming up from the southwest, I just had to get a short of both the Union Pacific units I found at Roseport this day. Here they sit on a spur track off the old Chicago Great Western main as the skies darken above, portending much-needed rain. |

The Depot At Last! |
| Description: |
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. |

"Boo yah!" I cried after snapping this shot of the CPKC train at Humboldt Yard. 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. |

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. |

Just About Done |
| Description: |
The UP local is about done dropping off a loaded CPKC (in faded CP Rail paint) flat car loaded with steel for Olympic shortly after noon on May 11, 2023. The flatcars you can see were empties for pickup, the tank cars, from a customer in Golden Valley, and the steel coil cars, from Ryerson Inc. The steel coil cars at right are loaded bound for the steel companies located west of Xenium Lane in Plymouth. |

The weathered derail remains along the tracks north of the Dan Patch swing bridge. This is my first "low angle" shot in quite a while, and it turned out great! :-) |
