PGR 40 |
| Description: |
Roster shot, taken on Labor Day 2017. This was the best I could manage of this classic ex-Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern second generation road diesel. Better than zilch, though. Pic taken on Labor Day 2017. |

I Caught Them At Last! |
| Description: |
I finally bagged the three units Progressive Rail was using on the ex-Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern main from Lakeville to Northfield (their "Jesse James Line") before they were moved to the Wisconsin Northern, where their six-axle configuration came in handy on the lighter rail there. I wish #40 was leading, since she is the prize of the group--she also sported that number and wore the same paint job for the Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern, but rather than trespass into the yard to get a head-on shot, I made do with what I had. |

The front end of PGR #40 sure looks classy. The name is now "Progressive Rail", but the look and feel of the units famed previous owner, the Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern, remains strong. |

The Prize |
| Description: |
I came all the way to Northfield with the goal of seeing Progressive Rail #40, the famous ex-Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern locomotive that is plying home rails again between Northfield and Lakeville after a stint on PGR's Wisconsin Northern. Here the veteran unit is idling at the Northfield yard in company with CBFX 3805 (just visible at left) on a gorgeous April afternoon. |

There She Be |
| Description: |
My buddy Andy and I found Progressive Rail's ex-Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern SD39 sitting in the south end of the yard, where she's been for some time due to a mechanical issue. I sure hope PGR gets her back up and running soon. |
