Calling it a day... The main is cleared and another weekend is complete up on the Dresser Sub.
MNTX 10106 and freshly repainted Soo 31 sit outside after another busy Saturday
Getting ready for the move to Osceola, MNTX 559 and 6234 keep NP 105 company in the shops tonight in a scene that won't be seen again till next fall when the road units return... It was the 100th... (more)
Still in NP colors [even though it wasn't a NP unit] from its time at Bandana Square, GN 454A sits in the sun.
Fresh out of the shops is 1096, it sits with business car A11 outside the roundhouse which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this weekend.
Even after hours the place is buzzing with activity with 559, coach 1096, and Soo caboose 31 in the shops. As the rains moved in it was still in the 60's on this very warm March night.
Only the main lead track is cleared out after the storm for basic access to the roundhouse. 559 won't be going anywhere today...
Snowed in - 10106 and 559 aren't going anywhere today...
Taking a spin on the turntable...
It is a bone chilling -11F, the windchill is -35F, but the trains are still running all around the metro. MNTX 10106 is coupled up with SD9 6234 just outside the roundhouse...
Sitting outside the shops with business car A11, they have returned from Osceola for the winter.
GN converted F3B 458B to a steam heater car to be used when regular freight units were on passenger trains.
