The Argonne Pump House
The moon rises over the Soo Line east of Argonne where a pump house still stands along the right-of-way on the railroad's mainline from Minneapolis to Sault Ste. Marie. The tracks here are idle and have not been used for years, unfortunately, under CN ownership. Meanwhile, this Soo Line relic has lasted providing direct Soo Line evidence.
This photo was over a year in the making. I zipped past Argonne in November 2018 and spotted the structure in the trees but simply kept driving towards the former Nicollet Badger Northern locomotive sitting at NBNR Junction east of here. Over the year, I really had wished I would have stopped at grabbed a shot. I am glad I waited as this scene was just too good - a 30 second exposure showing layers of clouds roll in front of the moon.
