Here is a view of Progressive Rail 34 from a low angle, courtesy of yours truly. She seems quite stately in such a view, no? |

First Pic Of 2024! |
| Description: |
My first railfan run of 2024 took me to Progressive Rail's Dan Patch line, and the first pic was of the line's SW1500 duo down at the "shops" southwest of Lyndale Avenue on a snow-free February afternoon courtesy of a strong El Nino (though, coincidentally, a storm was destined to drop some snow the very next day!) |

In For Work? |
| Description: |
To my surprise, PGR 34 was parked on the spur leading into Ziegler CAT this day. Perhaps she was in awaiting work of some sort? Whatever the reason, it made for a unique photo. |

Parked Separately |
| Description: |
Usually Progressive Rail's Dan Patch Line power can be found coupled together at the open air "shops" west of Lyndale Avenue on the old Hi-Line. This mild Saturday afternoon, however, they were decoupled with PGR 34 on the spur into Ziegler CAT and PGR 36 out on the main. Perhaps the 34 was awaiting repairs of some sort? |

It pays to stand 6'5 feet tall: I was able to get this shot of PGR 36 on the grounds of their Bloomington freight house despite the chain link fence surrounding the grounds. The shot came out better than I thought since the sun was shining from behind the subject. |

Good Thing I Brought A Camera! |

I almost forgot my camera on this outing. If I had, I wouldn't have been able to grab this shot of the crew aboard PGR 36 shoving a cut of three cars towards their freight house. Photo location is at the west 96th street grade crossing along the maze of industrial tracks jutting off of the old Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern "high line" west if 35W. |

Nice! |

Resting for the next day |

The Illusion Of An Approaching Train |
| Description: |
The PGR 36 waits on the west side of the 35W bridge on a gorgeous early afternoon in late April. It was sitting unmanned due to the PGR's "push/pull" operations on the line utilizing units at each end of their trains. At this moment the crew was using PGR 34 to switch their freight house, leaving the 36 to create the illusion of an oncoming train down at the bridge. I still kept my distance regardless. Better safe than sorry, folks. |

Ghost From The Past |
| Description: |
Progressive Rail 36, a Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern veter`n, has been back on old home rails for years as motive power on PGR's Dan Patch Line--the former MN&S "Hi Line." Here the engine is north of 86th Street while the crew aboard swithhes hoppers stored on the spur for the closed mill (?) off 86th. Save for the new name and modern additions, the 36 is a ghost from the MN&S's past. |
