| We are looking west towards the pond that is located in a marsh Six Mile Creek flows through, a corner of which is bisected by the abandoned grade of the old C&NW Morton Sub, an ex-M&St.L. route abandoned between Hopkins and Norwood, MN, in 1980. This vista all but whispers "The C&NW Was Here." And so yet another former "Tootin' Louie" line was axed in the name of line rationalization, which was the C&NW routing trains that once rolled through here over the Milwaukee Road from Bass Lake in St. Louis Park to Norwood. |
