BNSF 8300 West Crossing the Soo Line
A Westbound BNSF coal empty crosses the Soo Line trail at McGregor, MN on a May evening in 2006. McGregor used to be the crossing of the Soo Line and the NP/BN until the Soo abandoned their own Bemidji line in 1985. In the old days the two story depot would have behind the power where the McGregor radio tower sits in this view Soo Line trail. Never got to see two railroads in McGregor by the time I lived their for a few years in the mid-2000s, but got to see plenty of DC powered coal trains as 3-4 each way rolled through town each day.
