Description:  At each station on the Northstar's route a black chain link fence seperates the north and southbound tracks. The sign on the fence in the foreground says it all. Note the author's own "motive power" -my Chevy Cruze- in the center background; sure felt good to leave the car and hop the train to Big Lake!
