Lexington Ave Industrial Spurs |
| Description: |
This view of the spurs by the Lexington Ave in Arden Hills, shows how the track used to look. If you look on the left of the picture, you'll see new rails and ties. This was for the crossing in the foreground that was going to be redone within the next few days. The track in the very back of the picture is the Withrow Sub. |

While I waited for Transfer 1 to head off, and the Dresser Turn to roll by as well, I looked over to the depot and thought how memorable this view is. I love how you can see some of sun rays coming down. |
