| Description: |
the signals at Newport indicate Diverging Clear meaning a Rock Island transfer is coming home! And if you know where to look, you can see that the Rock Island operator has also lined signals for them to cross the Great River and proceed to Inver Grove! |

West 1 |
| Description: |
"Extra RI 44 West" enters the joint Milwaukee/ Burlington double track which was left hand running, back in train order days before the computerized ctc that it now is! How do I know, you ask?! Because I used to dispatch at Newport catching summer vacations on the BN dispatchers extra board at Northtown and also because I worked in three of the five interlocking towers that were on the line between St Paul and Hastings/ Prescott! Back in "train order days" it was fun to work there! |

nice caboose and typical of the transfer cabooses that I often saw around St Paul. When they came back from the GN or the NP, they usually came home with 2 cabooses on the rear! But that is a whole other story! |

Amtrak Empire Builder #8 |
| Description: |
The Builder heads around the curve towards its next stop at Red Wing, MN in about 40 miles. It was always great to watch it leave the cars/trucks in the dust in this stretch. This is where the Milwaukee Road and Burlington Northern swapped ownership of the double track main and the train is now on Milwaukee Road or Main 1 to Hastings, MN. I watched the very last North Star overnight train to Chicago pass this same location on 10/24/1981 at 2230. |

I am standing close to where the tower was that protected movement to the Rock Island RR and the crossovers. |

| Description: |
Amtrak's #8, The Empire Builder, is about 7 hours late due mostly to the below zero temperatures. The operator was someone I had talked to before taking the shot and he asked if I would send him a copy (which I did). You can see him in the window. The train seemed to be going very fast as it went by. As can be seen, the signal on the left has been passed but still hasn't fallen. |
