Pre-EF5
On this bright and beautiful first day of May in 2024, 2816 pauses in Enderlin, North Dakota, for a service stop on the Golden Spike Tour, bound for Mexico City. Happier times, perhaps. A little over a year later, a tornado outbreak occurred on June 20th, 2025, devastating the state of North Dakota. Enderlin suffered the worst of it, with three fatalities, and just yesterday, the NWS gave an official EF5 rating to the Enderlin tornado, the first such rating in 12 years. The rating was given due to train cars being toppled and thrown about 3 miles down the line from this location. A bit surreal looking back at some of these photos now. Rest easy to the three lives lost that night...
