Hiawatha at Hole In the Wall

Amtrak's North Coast Hiawatha approaches the telltales of what was termed the "Hole In The Wall" - the 1st Street North overpass in Minneapolis in September 1973. Virtually everything you see here is gone - the tracks, locomotives, the Soo Line freight house on the left. Today this area is filled with apartments and businesses as part of what is now known as the "North Loop" - now a very trendy and expensive part of the city, something no one could have predicted 48 years ago. For a view of the Soo Line here go to: www.flickr.com/photos/2719/2336784104/in/album-7215760213....
