| From Forest Lake to North Branch, the old Northern Pacific Skally Line is now known as the Sunrise Prairie Trail. The trail ends at Main Street, but it is not on the actual NP right-of-way due to the post-abandonment development at left which took a bite out of the line. Behind me the rails are intact from here to Hinckley thanks to enough business which kept the Burlington Northern happy until shortline railroad St. Croix Valley took this active piece of the Skally Line off of BN's hands. |
