Sunrise1 |
| Description: |
as the sun rises and another 3rd trick begins to end for the leverman/ telegraph operator at Hoffman Avenue, this is the view that I had looking east towards Daytons Bluff and St Paul Yard. The Milwaukee freight mains were right hand running and the two center tracks were the passenger mains and they were left hand running! It was a busy and interesting place to work! The cement company in the middle of the picture and the grain terminal that loaded river barges, were served by the St Paul Bridge and Terminal or in this case it was known to most people as the CGW! The 3 right hand tracks towards the river were Milwaukee and the 3 left hand tracks towards the bluff belonged to the Burlington. |

out of St Paul and after passing Oakland tower, an eastbound CB&Q passenger train was seen racing by the east end of Dunn yard which in those days was only four tracks. The joint double track was still train orders and was left hand running. |

and nobody cared that I was there |
| Description: |
the workers did the work and everybody left everybody--- including me alone! People had respect for others and it was clear to everyone, who the officials were and where they were! It was not like the "weed weasels and snakes in the grass" that there are today, who sit off in the background listening to she radio, perhaps with their feet on the desk! The guy on the right by the water tender with the long coat and hat looks like someone that I could respect for that which he was! Someone who really cared about how things were going and could actually do something to help the men when they needed help! |

GN transfer caboose |
| Description: |
in downtown St Paul at the GN freight house, you can see the 1st Bank sign in the background that has probably been there since the early 1930's! The caboose is long gone as also so is the freight house. The investment bankers were there "in the time of the beginning" and they are still there! Everything else is now gone and only a memory to those who were there to see these things! |
