Entering the CNW yard at Daytons Bluff, this little guy called MSP home for a couple years in the early 1980s. Fuel prices had skyrocketed in 1979 and 1980, and I think this may have been an attempt at fuel savings. |

A little better view of the work at Prescott as the old bridge is half dismantled already, and the old main line is being removed. This project eliminated a 10 mph restriction on the bridge and curve and raised it to 30 mph. You can also see the old road lift bridge that has also been removed many years ago. |

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. |

Around the bend at Marine |
| Description: |
looking east on the Soo Lines Barron Sub, this is just ahead of the St. Croix River crossing and Osceola WI is just a few miles ahead. I liked this shot of a well maintained 90 lb line, and would have loved to have seen the Duluth/Superior limited come around the corner at speed. |
