Soo Line high bridge from the air |
| Description: |
This shot was taken from a Cessna looking north along the St. Croix River of the bridge on the Soo Line St. Paul to Chicago main line. During this year the bridge was actually out of service until the fall of 1987 when WC took over operation. It is amazing to see how fragile something so large can look from a distance. |

Withrow Depot at sunset |
| Description: |
During the short year or so period that Lake States Transportation ran as a subsidiary of Soo Line. the main line to Chicago was out of service here and only one train a day headed up to Ladysmith and points east, so Withrow was a quiet town. This was during that period and the eastbound train came through about 1/2 hr after I shot this. The depot was razed a few years after this. |

Derailment repair near Westminster. |
| Description: |
After a heavy rain in St. Paul, a westbound train heading through the tunnel on the right, hit a stretch of track submerged under 3 or 4 feet of water! Luckily, the power made it through, but an empty flat car pontooned off its trucks and several other cars followed it off the tracks. The BN has pulled the mess and track out of the way and is now preparing to lay a new Main 1 through the area. |

Track work |
| Description: |
The MTM/Zephyr had a large challenge when BN donated the line in 1983. In one mile there 7 or more curves with worn rail and ties. After a minor derailment of the Zephyr shortly after start up on this curve, which was the longest on the RR, contractors were hired to gut it and replace all the outside rail and alot of the ties and put gauge bars in it. The museum spent over $150,000 bringing the line back up to class 2 standards. |

Milwaukee Road Bayport Turn |

In downtown Lake Elmo heading west, the train is heading west again passing the old lumber spur that was used until the late 80s and then removed. This train, like BNs usually ran 4 or 5 days a week. |

Minnesota Zephyr |
| Description: |
Stopped at the west end of the line at Duluth Jct, the dinner train stopped for about 30 mn before heading back on its leisurely trip to Stillwater. This was the 2nd winter it was running, and ridership was strong. The 787 is now in Colorado someplace along with the cars. |

Grand Dome |
| Description: |
The Zephyr got this car during the 2nd year of operation, and called it the Grand Dome. Dont remember its heritage, but it was done up nicely on the interior, and served as a lounge car for most of the 21 year run of the Zephyr. The train is passing under Hwy 5, where the 2.2% grade started. |

Lost Junction |
| Description: |
At the Junction of the Brooten and Danbury Subs, south of Superior WI was Jct 278, which would be where trains headed south or west. This picture was after the Danbury Sub had been out of service for 7 or 8 years, and the Brooten line would be gone within 3 years of this picture. This is now a bike trail |

WC Passenger special |
| Description: |
At the now abandoned railroad town of Amery, WI, this train stopped for a few hours to let passengers enjoy a town celebration that was going on. The engine would then run around the train and head back to Dresser, WI. This would most likely be the last passenger train to ever ply these rails, as the line was removed just a few years later. |
