CNW near Saunders |
Description: |
One problem with waiting 30 years to download slides, is that you forget some of the locations! I believe this is a unit ore train coming off one of the lines near Saunders, WI. CNW used coal cars for a few of these moves and loaded them about 3 or 4 feet deep. |

Title: |
Soo Line main out of service |
Description: |
This is looking east on the Soo Line Chicago to Twin Cities main during the summer of 1986, when the Soo shut it down after the Milwaukee Road merger. The Wisconsin Central took over the line sometime in 1987, so thankfully it was saved. It was actually in much better condition than most of the Milwaukees own main line to Chicago! |
