What a pretty sight the old Minneapolis and St. Louis mainline makes passing the Chaska Mill and Cy's Bar and Grill. Wish I had caught a UP train here before they pulled the plug. |

Waiting For Its Next Use |
| Description: |
This is the former Minneapolis & St. Louis trestle over East Chaska Creek in downtown Chaska. This bridge has been used by the M&St.L. and successors Chicago and North Western and Union Pacific. Thanks to Uncle Pete not keeping the faith with traffic to United Sugars after a bridge close to the Minnesota River collapsed in 2007, this bridge now awaits its next use while the right-of-way north and south of it has become so well manicured even the track ballast is gone. |
