A Depot Aint' A Depot ... |
| Description: |
If a train ain't a train without a caboose, then a depot ain't a depot without a set of tracks by it. Sadly, this soon will no longer be the case when the former Louie on the right is torn up, follwoing the way of the Milwaukee Road's Hastings and Dakota route through town which crossed here. Hence the angled side of the depot and the old signal behind the tree. |

Soon To Be Just Another Trail Crossing? |
| Description: |
A pedestrian path leading up to Cy's Bar and Grill in downtown Chaska soon might be just another trail crossing if the rail bed becomes a trail (which hopefully will be the case.) At any rate, the only railroad signs soon to be here will just be the ones at Cy's visible in the background. |

Sad |
| Description: |
Found this lying along the old UP Chaska Industrial in the downtown area near the Chaska Mill and Cy's bar and grill. From active rail line to trash heap in the space of a few years. Note how one of the tie plates at the top of the picture still has a spike in it while all the others around it are loose or lying on the ties and ballast. |

Towards The End Of The Line |
| Description: |
In 1991 the CNW tore up the ex-M & S t.L main from Hopkins to Chaska leaving a stub in place from Merriam Junction as the "Chaska Industrial Lead." The old main ends in the trees in the far distance, awaiting to jon the rest of the route in abandonment. |

| Description: |
At the moment, you can find sights like this aplenty on the abandoned UP Chaska Industrial Lead: spikes out of their tie plates surrounding the steel rails they once held in place. These particular ones were lying in the vicinity of the first switch for United Sugars. |
