Towards The End Of Track |
| Description: |
Two blocks west of where I was standing is the western end of the surviving fragment of CGW track in town. Incredibly, the switch you see here wasn't installed until the CNW era, when they moved trains from the ex-CGW between Northfield and Faribault to the Milwaukee Road line due to bad track (natch). |

Where the Great Western and the Milwaukee meet |

A surviving fragment of the Chicago Great Western line meets up with the former Milwuakee Road at this location. Crossing diamond is in the distance. From this point of view, one might still expect to see one of those old CGW alcos appear on the horizon even now, chanting into town. |

Where high short hooded Milwaukee Road SD7s once chanted on the Zumbrota branch, now you can take a stroll on it for a few miles starting on the east side of 9th Avenue South near the Kwik Trip. West of here the trail meanders through apartments and other ousing that took over the Zumbrota branch right-of-way after abandonment. |

| Title: |
Six Tracks All Gone |
| Description: |
We are looking down the southern end of the site of the six-track Milwaukee Road Faribault yard. Six tracks once exsisted to accomodate traffic flowing in from the branch to Zumbrota. Today this part is filled with weeds and scrub. Ironcially enough, in its last years the yard became so overgrown the rails became hard to see. Division street is in the distance, marked by a white pickup truck. |

From Tracks To Trees |
| Description: |
Where weed-covered rails once lay, trees-and a lone "no trespassing" sign-stand today in the north end of the Milwaukee Road Faribault yard. |
