Varnish
Minutes later about to enter shoo fly on Main 2, Hiawatha with Mars swinging,exhaust blasting high and four 567 prime movers sounding all the decibels possible. Looked back, as caboose of Mpls Transfer on Main 1 was just disappearing. Slick dispatching by LaCrosse and execution in the field by the CTC operator down at Chestnut St.Tower ensuring the varnish will arrive at Milw Depot ahead of transfer at South Mpls. The experience was certainly more worthy than the photo. Note: the smokestack of the old Ancker Hospital back at W. 7th St. grade crossing. An overpass is in the near future. Also the home signal governing Fordson Jct. is visible. Gritty not pretty.
