| Description: |
The Builder heads around the curve towards its next stop at Red Wing, MN in about 40 miles. It was always great to watch it leave the cars/trucks in the dust in this stretch. This is where the Milwaukee Road and Burlington Northern swapped ownership of the double track main and the train is now on Milwaukee Road or Main 1 to Hastings, MN. I watched the very last North Star overnight train to Chicago pass this same location on 10/24/1981 at 2230. |

Another shot at Markville, now looking north and you can see the passing siding. There was an unusual track arrangement where another track headed off the siding to the main and you can see the switch branching off at the turnout of the siding. |
