St. Paul Turn
Title:  St. Paul Turn
Description:  I came upon the St. Paul Turn just after 7 a.m. this day. This impressive lashup would power the train on into Minneapolis/St. Paul proper so TC&W could interchange with the likes of Canadian Pacific.

Here She Comes
Title:  Here She Comes
Description:  My buddy Andy and I were waiting down at a grade crossing enduring the dust kicked up by passing trucks and wondering of the Reubel Turn would move. Suddenly, the engineer sounded the air horn, the ditch lights flashed, and soon the train began to move!

"Train!"
Title:  "Train!"
Description:  "Train!" my pal and fellow railfan Andy cried when he spotted the headlights of the Reubel Turn as we headed east on 212 from Olivia this day. Sure enough, the train had paused at Bird Island to switch, resulting in a memorable catch.
