waiting for the block to clear |
| Description: |
Having seen these engines come into Northtown where they earlier cutoff from their train, they are now waiting for a double red signal at Park Jct. This NP tower protected the crossing with the Minnesota Transfer which headed north from their yard in the Midway to meet the Soo Line at New Brighton. This light engine was heading east to Mississippi Street in St Paul. |

run thru power |
| Description: |
Between the interlocking towers of St Anthony on the west end of the 4 track GN main and St Anthony Park on the double track NP main (not to be confused with Park Jct and the Minnesota Transfer crossing)--- I felt lucky to catch this set of run thru power on the Union Cutoff. As to why this transfer from Daytons Bluff came up the NP and then went thru the Union Cutoff at St Anthony Park instead of coming west on the GN freight mains from Westminster Tower is beyond me! So where was St Anthony Park and the Union Cutoff you ask?! Just west of the state fair grounds and Snelling Avenue where the circus trains used to unload and maybe still do today. |

after leaving St Paul Yard on the westbound freight main and approaching the St Paul Union Depot still off in the distance, you can make out the Milwaukee switch engine at the "old yard" and the signal bridge at Division Street. The closer signal bridge with the approach signal is the west end of the Hoffman Avenue interlocking. |

on the Milwaukee westbound freight main |
| Description: |
at Hoffman Avenue, perhaps this is the time freight south to Austin on the Iowa and Minnesota. I was able to get this picture as I was working there as the second trick tower operator/ leverman. Hoffman Avenue was a "strong arm" pipeline interlocking plant with six tracks, 3 Milwaukee on the river side and 3 Burlington on the bluff side. The Milwaukee freight mains were right hand running and the two joint track passenger mains in the middle that ran in between thus separating St Paul Yard on the Milwaukee and Daytons Bluff on the Burlington, were left hand running! I liked working there, it was a very busy place! It was my first job on the railroad. |

St Paul Union Depot to the right and Division Street Interlocking controlled the junction with the Milwaukee Road and the Burlington to points east on the left!!! Why does the Rock Island train have two cabooses you might ask?! Now that is other whole story in itself!!! I only wish that I would have had more time that I could have spent here!!! There was always lots of trains from many different railroads and there were lots of railroad jobs to be had!!! A young college kid could work and go to school at the same time--- I know because I did!!! |

climbing up the hill on the NP double track |
| Description: |
this CB&Q transfer was observed climbing the hill out of St Paul and the Great River valley. They were heading west towards Northtown and had just passed Trout Brook Jct and Mississippi Street. Sometimes there were two engines and sometimes three, but this was typical of the way that things were done. And yes, the engines always faced west as they ran around the Twin Cities making connections with other railroads! But one day soon the inbound power from La Crosse would no longer cutoff at Daytons Bluff and the "Red Birds" as they were known would run thru as they took their trains and made their connections with Great Northern and the Northern Pacific. And my time on the Milwaukee Road would be interrupted and cut short by the period of time that I spent in the US Navy Submarine service. But I did not know that when I returned home, that it would be the beginning of 30 years as a trick dispatcher on the Burlington Northern Railroad! |

Maybe it was better with the red and purple F7 A's and B's, but these are also nice! |

NP 6706C and NP 171 |
| Description: |
"Waiting 2b of service" on the North Coast Limited or the Mainstreeter but probably not 3&11 which was the Mandan/ International Falls train that was combined until after crossing the Mississippi River @Little Falls!!! You can tell because this engine is facing east instead of west- the interlocking signals govern westbound traffic to Northtown &Mississippi Street Yard. 2switch engines wait 4their next assignment- notice that unlike on the CB&Q they can face either direction!!! |
