Hello again! |
| Description: |
When I first saw this unit working the Hi-Line, it's number was 2347. On This b}eezy, deliciously mild mid-June evening the now-renumbered (and re-painted) unit is at Lyndale Siding on the Hi-Line. The 34 is lashed to a couple hoppers. I hfve it on good authority this unit was used down in the Lakeville-Northfield area for a time. |

What was the 34 doing here? |
| Description: |
The southbound PGR "High Line" local had a short cut of covered hoppers in tow as it crossed 86th Street this day... and had PGR 34 bringing up the rear, apparently idling but unmanned. Why was this, anybody know? |

Office parks border the spur track in PGR's freight house, resulting in views like this when crews switch it.

Switching Amidst Industry |
| Description: |
The PGR crew has pulled ahead on a switching move south of 86th Street. I do not know if they were switching an industry, or sorting out stored cars. The industry in the background provides a swell backdrop for the two locomotives whose paint schemes are virtually identical to that used by the Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern, which once operated this line. |

All coupled up but staying put |
| Description: |
We are outside PGR's Bloomington freight house in thip photo. It looks like the 36 is ready to roll here. Well it technically is, but it is shut off and resting beneath mild June skies this evening. Track in the right background junctions with another spur just south of the grade crossing in the distance. |

Out of the freight house |
| Description: |
The 36 sits outside the freight house grounds lashed to a short cut of cars. Note: "sun glare" beyond the 36's nose is due in part to the camera setting. |

| Title: |
The Illusion Of An Approaching Train |
| Description: |
The PGR 36 waits on the west side of the 35W bridge on a gorgeous early afternoon in late April. It was sitting unmanned due to the PGR's "push/pull" operations on the line utilizing units at each end of their trains. At this moment the crew was using PGR 34 to switch their freight house, leaving the 36 to create the illusion of an oncoming train down at the bridge. I still kept my distance regardless. Better safe than sorry, folks. |
