Rollin' Through Rollins

I am pretty sure I already used that title, but the alliteration works so well. The eastbound return of the ballast train with a pair of '60s yielded yet more shenanigans for the railfan observer. A Q was working Midway and blocking both mains, so a CP core train held short at St. Anthony to wait for a good run at the hill thereby occupying the plant here at Rollins Avenue. Thus, the ballast train got cozy on the Pioneer Extension. Eventually---eventually---things cleared up and the ballast train takes it easy towards St. Paul.

 

What was once an isolated, abandoned, and decrepit looking tower, Bunge now makes up a clean and colorful façade with new apartment complexes.
