Benjamin Buck General I wish this photo was larger- shots like this are hard to come by! 11/29/2006 4:48:49 PM
Tom Dethmers General Marty, what a great picture! Was this train 5 heading towards North St. Paul? I know the juntion at Trout Creek is right ahead of them, and this would have been about six months before they quit running to Chicago. Thanks! 4/28/2017 11:12:32 PM
Marty Bernard General The SOO used the MILW depot in Minneapolis. I assume that's where it's going. 4/29/2017 1:11:02 AM
Tom Dethmers General Marty, I think all the Soo passenger trains went via the Milwaukee Road to Minneapolis, so this almost has to be #5 heading to Chicago, as it is on the NP near Mississippi St. That is the CNW 400 line over the top in the background. I love this shot! 7/25/2020 9:57:23 AM
