MNNR At ADM
Title:  MNNR At ADM
Description:  The MNNR crew is just about done with their switching duties at ADM's mill located on their Hiawatha Switching District. This is why Minneapolis was dubbed The Mill City, folks. Soon the crew will take their loads back to MNNR's St. Paul yard, where they will be turned over to the BNSF and other roads for shipment beyond the Twin Cities.

Far From The Frisco
Title:  Far From The Frisco
Description:  I just learned this baby is an ex-Frisco unit. Sure is cool to see it still in operation, and on former Milwaukee Road rails too. In this case, the rails of MNNR's Hiawatha Switching District, serving the last operating Minneapolis mills. I had long wanted to catch the Minnesota Commercial here, and finally got my chance just as the rain was ending late on an April morning in 2015.

MNNR 54 At 38th Street
Title:  MNNR 54 At 38th Street
Description:  Much as I enjoy photographing the Blue (formerly Hiawatha) Line, I relish seeing freight rail action on the venerable Milwaukee Rails which still parallel Hiawatha Avenue from south of Lake Street to the Princess Depot at Minnehaha Park. Here the MNNR crew is taking the 54 south of 38th Street to do some switching on a gray (and abnormally cool and windy!) Monday morning in May.

Yard And Hiawatha Power
Title:  Yard And Hiawatha Power
Description:  I had caught the 54 working the Hiawatha Switching District earlier in the day. The crew then returned to the roundhouse and parked their ex-Frisco steed by the power MNNR likes to give to yard duties.

MN Commercial in the Dinkytown Trench - 1
Title:  MN Commercial in the Dinkytown Trench - 1
Description:  MNNR 54 switches covered hoppers in the Dinkytown Trench under cloudy skies. This track, owned by BNSF, used to serve the U's coal powered heating plant, but now is only used for MN Commercial to store covered hoppers (I believe mostly plastic pellets)in their small yard. This is only the second time I've seen a locomotive down in the trench.
