All Quiet Twenty Years Later |
| Description: |
I first discovered Faribault's ex-Milwaukee Road depot during the summer of 1995. Back then a company loaded gondolas with recyclables (?) here. Sadly, that business did not last into the first decades of the 21st Century, resulting in the mothballed tracks you see now. |

Old CGW West of Former I&M |
| Description: |
Here we are looking west along the former Chicago Great Western from its crossing with the former Milwaukee Road I&M division. It looks like it still runs all the way to Mankato, but it actually ends just past the crossbucks faintly visible in the far distance. |

Progressive Rail (PGR) |
| Description: |
First encounter with Progressive Rail. This is PGRs pretty obscure operation in Faribault. The unnumbered 45 tonner looked like it hadn't moved in a while, but there were several cars on the line that had obviously just come in. Not sure what they are using for power. |

Away From The Madding Crowd |
| Description: |
Why was I so far back for this shot? Well, for one thing, a good friend of mine who was present told me 4014 was a huge engine, so I needed to be back enough to get all of her in the frame. For another, I am not one for crowds, so I was more than happy to keep well back to grab my shots of 4014 on the old Spine Line. |

This stretch of the old Milwaukee in Faribault, located north of Highway 60, has been considerably cleared of the vegetation which has choked the line in previous years. Out of sight in the distance is the crossing with the surviving piece of Chicago Great Western in town, now used as an industrial spur. |

Closed For The Holiday |
| Description: |
During my drive south to Faribault, I was floored to see how many restaurants along I-35 were still open, even though it was Thanksgiving Day! Fortunately, the owners of the Depot Bar & Grill, located in the old Faribault Rock Island depot, had the good sense to be closed so their employees could enjoy the holiday. |
