Plummer, Minnesota, 11 SEP'80
Yes, there was still a Soo Line depot on the Winnipeg mainline just south of Thief River Falls, but as one local suggested on the far side of the building, it needed paint. It probably never got it. At this time there was still a through branchline - the Plummer line - from here to Duluth/Superior and in season the grain trains from Dakota might need last minute train orders to split off and head eastward. But soon that need, and the depot, would be gone.
