Stopping Traffic |
| Description: |
The 0630 crew pulled up right to the sidewalk on the north side of Old Shakopee Road while doing switching moves at Nesbitt Siding, causing the signals to come on and snarl up traffic. Many drivers quickly realized the train was not crossing and continued on. |

The Bridge Is Coming Back! |
| Description: |
I learned via another RRPictureArchives user that the Dan Patch swing bridge over the Minnesota River was getting some major rehab work done. Sure enough, that work was continuing when I stood on the hill above he span to snap this photo. It sure is a sight for sore eyes to see! Thank you, Twin Cities & Western, for the foresight in buying and keeping this bridge which will soon witness the passing of trains to and from the Port of Savage. |

Switching Amidst Industry |
| Description: |
The PGR crew has pulled ahead on a switching move south of 86th Street. I do not know if they were switching an industry, or sorting out stored cars. The industry in the background provides a swell backdrop for the two locomotives whose paint schemes are virtually identical to that used by the Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern, which once operated this line. |

Ghost From The Past |
| Description: |
Progressive Rail 36, a Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern veter`n, has been back on old home rails for years as motive power on PGR's Dan Patch Line--the former MN&S "Hi Line." Here the engine is north of 86th Street while the crew aboard swithhes hoppers stored on the spur for the closed mill (?) off 86th. Save for the new name and modern additions, the 36 is a ghost from the MN&S's past. |
