Hello again! |
| Description: |
When I first saw this unit working the Hi-Line, it's number was 2347. On This breezy, 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 have 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? |

Switching In Suburbia |

Office parks border the spur track in PGR's freight house, resulting in views like this when crews switch it. On this gorgeous late April afternoon, the PGR crew goes about its duties while workers at their cubicles go about their workdays in a more ho hum manner. (It's "Office Space" meets "Brewster's Millions" out here.) |

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. |

Resting On Home Rails |
| Description: |
The caboose is vintage MN&S. Despite the PGR paint, so is the SW1500! Here they sit in the open air "shops" PGR has just east of 35W in Bloomington along the former Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern "high line" with the locomotive shut down and silent awaiting the next days work. |

Better Than I Thought |
| Description: |
It pays to stand 6'5 feet tall: I was able to get this shot of PGR 36 on the grounds of their Bloomington freight house despite the chain link fence surrounding the grounds. The shot came out better than I thought since the sun was shining from behind the subject. |

Good Thing I Brought A Camera! |
| Description: |
I almost forgot my camera on this outing. If I had, I wouldn't have been able to grab this shot of the crew aboard PGR 36 shoving a cut of three cars towards their freight house. Photo location is at the west 96th street grade crossing along the maze of industrial tracks jutting off of the old Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern "high line" west if 35W. |

Switcher And A Woodchip Hauler |
| Description: |
One of the commodities Progressive Rail hauls along the former Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern "High Line" is mulch. The woodchip gondola the 36 is parked next to on this warm late July Monday evening is chock full of it. Note the large pile in the right background inside the freight house grounds. |
