The Deadline Remains |

The deadline at Humboldt Yard, containing the last Soo/Milwaukee "Bandit", 2010 (at far right) remains even as the hours count down until Canadian Pacific Kansas City comes into being. How much longer will these units put out to pasture be able to soak up the sun on lovely days like this one until they meet their destiny? |

Back On Home Rails One Last Time |
| Description: |
Now sold but still clad in faded "bandit" paint, Soo 2010 was at the Pig's Eye roundhouse on a showery Saturday afternoon. Usable parts have been removed by CPKC, so the new owner might be a scrapper. Hail and farewell to the last ex-Milwaukee Road unit on the CPKC, sitting here on home rails one last time. |

Along Progressive Rail's former MN&S High Line route just west of Lyndale Avenue down by their open-air shops next to Ziegler CAT we find a Milwaukee Road vet in the form of CP GP40 4609 parked idling out on the main track and a Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern vet in the form of PGR SW1500 36 sitting parked shut down on the spur into Ziegler. Nice! |

I have long wanted to photograph a train traveling on the MNS Spur at Valley Lane in Edina. This morning my dream came true! I find it interesting that today's 0630 is a mix of old and new power after chasing one earlier this month which had a matched pair of ECO GP20Cs for power. |
