Towards The End Of Track |
| Description: |
Two blocks west of where I was standing is the western end of the surviving fragment of CGW track in town. Incredibly, the switch you see here wasn't installed until the CNW era, when they moved trains from the ex-CGW between Northfield and Faribault to the Milwaukee Road line due to bad track (natch). |

Where the Great Western and the Milwaukee meet |

A surviving fragment of the Chicago Great Western line meets up with the former Milwuakee Road at this location. Crossing diamond is in the distance. From this point of view, one might still expect to see one of those old CGW alcos appear on the horizon even now, chanting into town. |

When Will The Next Train Pass? |
| Description: |
In 1995 when I first visited the old Milwaukee Road Faribault depot, three or four silver hopper cars were parked beside it to take on recycled aluminum stored in the south end of the Milwaukee yard site. Then as late as 2004 another customer required service in this area. Now the rails are empty, awaiting whenever the next train comes at last. |

A view of the buttons inside a romette of the NSR car Minnesota River. Only two cars were allotted to coach passengers but big ticket sales resulted in the overflow being able to be seated in the open romettes of this car, nominally allocated to the Amtrak/Friends of the 261 crew. Was quite a blast from the past, sitting in that car! Location train was when photo was taken approximate. |

Scene two from the panorama of the fall color side trip to LaCrescent finds a railfan aiming his camera at me as I click away in rapid fire. Cool. |
