The diamonds are with the EJ&E. Interchange cars can be seen above the last coach. My notes read "The Varsity?". Can anyone confirm? Note the shaddows indicate mid-afternoon.

MILW 85A (a big question) and 233 |
| Description: |
Both an F3A and an F7A carried the number 85A. The F3A was traded in 1965. What is this? Look at the stuff on the roof and the painted port hole windows. |

MILW 267 at Sunset Passes St. Croix Tower on June 24, 1964 |
| Description: |
Milwaukee Road GP9 267 brings a freight northbound past St. Croix Tower, Minn. on June 24, 1964. It has just crossed the Mississippi (it came up the west side of the River) just north of Hastings, Minn. The track coming in from the right is from the CB&Q's bridge across the St. Croix River just north of where the St. Croix joins the Mississippi just north of Prescott, Wisc. (Note: At this point the Croix River becomes the boarder between Minnesota and Wisconsin.) The CB&Q came up the east side of the River. Both are single track railroads at this point. This freight and all northbound trains of both railroads, except local freights that have work, take the Milwaukee's line, which is along the river shore and presents the least northbound grade. Southbound trains of both railroads use the CB&Q track which is up on the bluff and has steeper northbound grades. The joint track is jointly dispatched and as a pair and have reverse direction running, ala CNW. The Rock Island joins this shared trackage into St. Paul at the next tower north. In 1964 this 18-miles stretch of track from here to St. Paul saw 5 or 6 operating towers. |

MILW 807 Fetching or Returning a Car to the BN Coach Yard South of Union Station |
| Description: |
If memory serves, Amtrak was rebuilding the ex-PRR coach yard and engine terminal on the east side of the main tracks (you are looking at the coach yard on the west side) and was using some of the BN yard. This shot was taken from the Roosevelt St. bridge. |
