| Title: |
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! |
