The MNS Spur Power? |

These two GPs might be the current motive power on the MNS Spur local at the moment. Either that or they are assigned other duties. Anyway, I found them at Humboldt this day. |

Exiled To The Dead Line |
| Description: |
CP 3027 was down near the diesel house at Pigs Eye early on a Sunday evening. The good paint and intact numberboards seem to indicate this Can Pac vet is still active, but since she was the tail end of the dead line, she might have rolled her last miles for CP on the eve of CPKC.not know whether or not she has a future on the Canadian Pacific Kansas City. |

It is interesting how a major power line is routed down the MN&S Spur for most of the stretch of track through SLP. Here the northbound CP/Soo local passes by them with one car of interchange from Progressive Rail in Bloomington. Dig how the Soo Line's own "4449" is still wearing Soo livery at this late date! Note my own "motive power" at the far right background. |

We are just south of Excelsior Boulevard on the Canadian Pacific Soo Line MN&S Spur (the former main line of the Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern railroad), a place I've always wanted to photograph a train at. Lo and behold: by pure luck I finally got to do that! Here comes the northbound CP local which serves Nesbit Siding in Bloomington where CP interchanges with Progessive Rail, operator of the former MN&S "High Line." Today only one loaded gondola is making the return trip to Humbolt Yard. |

Transfer Power? |
| Description: |
This is the second time I have caught a lashup like this facing east at Humboldt with a train tracked on behind it. Is this a transfer to, say, the BNSF awaiting its departure? |

Here are the other two units in the four unit lashup CP 4615 was leading in the previous photo. Love those classic Soo red and white units. |

No More Miles To Roll |
| Description: |
Missing numberboards on the end of SOO 4416's high hood indicate she has no more miles to roll as she soaks up the sun at Pigs Eye early on a Sunday evening. Well, at least she ended her career in Soo Line colors, not CP (or CPKC). |

I'm Gonna Miss These |
| Description: |
Soo 4416 waits at Pig's Eye prior to leaving for new owner S&S Sales the next day. I'm gonna miss these old warhorses you used to find working the likes of the Ford Branch or the MNS Spur. Hail and farewell, 4416! |

Where The Blue And Gold Once Parked |
| Description: |
CP 4421 idles by the Rochester yard office on a lovely Indian Summer afternoon. 4421 is parked where blue and gold DM&E units sat waiting their next call to local duties once upon a time. Track in foreground leads to ex-CGW spur into the city center. |

An early CP 0630 crosses Laurel Avenue with one smooth side covered hopper in tow. This car is either bound for Western Avenue Yard to be put in storage, or it is a revenue car off Progressive Rail's Dan Patch line bound for Humboldt Yard. |

Approaching Laurel Avenue |
| Description: |
A very early 0630 approaches Laurel Avenue as the crew heads back north, passing the site of the recently abandoned spur track. (Is CP going to pick those ties up, or is the spur going to be rebuilt?) |

Soo Line! |
| Description: |
The northbound 0630-running very early-crosses Golden Hills Drive on its way north with one car in tow. After getting used to the new Canadian Pacific ECO units, finding ex-Soo Line golden oldies in Golden Valley was quite a treat, especially since one of them still wore her Soo colors. |
