Vanished Wye         
Behind the GN depot on Hennepin Avenue there was a wye which connected it to the main line, the east leg of which connected to the bridge which today carries the BNSF Wayzata sub over the river. Today, this stub is all that remains. A monument to when trains ruled the west bank of Old Man River downtown.
