Traffic Stopper |
| Description: |
A MNNR crew with #49 for power had to stop for a red signal on the Minnesota Commercial's main line due to impending traffic on the St. Paul Sub. They had pulled up to the Kasota Avenue grade crossing just enough to trigger the crossing signals, but as they were not proceeding any further yet, the signals soon deactivated. Talk about a traffic stopper. :-) |

Passing The Platforms Again |

The power on a MNNR train back from the Hiawatha mills in Minneapolis runs around its train on a side track at Amtrak Midway prior to shoving it up into their yard. The brakeman riding the steps was a real nice dude when I cheerfully greeted them and the old white mustached hogger gave me a wave. Gentlemen, you are a true credit to the industry! |

Nose Shot |
| Description: |
Usually you can view MNNR locos from the south side of the roundhouse. On this Easter Sunday, however, a string of boxcars mostly blocked out the view. I got lucky with this shot, though. The barbed wire-topped chain link fence indicates just what kind of neighborhood the Commercial's roundhouse sits in. Stay alert when you visit, railfans! |

MNNR At ADM |
| Description: |
The MNNR crew is just about done with their switching duties at ADM's mill located on their Hiawatha Switching District. This is why Minneapolis was dubbed The Mill City, folks. Soon the crew will take their loads back to MNNR's St. Paul yard, where they will be turned over to the BNSF and other roads for shipment beyond the Twin Cities. |

Far From The Frisco |
| Description: |
I just learned this baby is an ex-Frisco unit. Sure is cool to see it still in operation, and on former Milwaukee Road rails too. In this case, the rails of MNNR's Hiawatha Switching District, serving the last operating Minneapolis mills. I had long wanted to catch the Minnesota Commercial here, and finally got my chance just as the rain was ending late on an April morning in 2015. |

MNNR 54 At 38th Street |

Much as I enjoy photographing the Blue (formerly Hiawatha) Line, I relish seeing freight rail action on the venerable Milwaukee Rails which still parallel Hiawatha Avenue from south of Lake Street to the Princess Depot at Minnehaha Park. Here the MNNR crew is taking the 54 south of 38th Street to do some switching on a gray (and abnormally cool and windy!) Monday morning in May. |
