Heading Away With The Sky Tower In The Distance |
| Description: |
Once again a train passes Bandana Square within sight of the Minnesota State Fair Sky Tower. In this case a mixed freight with a lone NS unit on the point. Oddly enough, I saw the tail end of this train as it sat stopped just northwest of the U of M Transitway bridge past Union Junction. Must have hit a red signal. |
