The Thunder Hill Overlook is a very popular stop on the MSTl to sit and take in the sunset. It is truly a spectacular view on the trail.
Our first interception of MILW 4-8-4 #261 as it heads west past the Cargill corporate offices at Hopkins with the 2017 Fall Colors excursion. This trip would enable me to chase it along the ex-MSTL, which I was unable to do last year.

The Smart Career Competition has been developed by CareersPortal.ie and NCE-MSTL , in partnership with Discover Science and Engineering. ESB and Intel.
The bottom "terrace" is actually the old ROW that ran back into Coal Bank Hill north of Eldora which was the reason the predecessor to the M&StL was originally started.
I presume by the line fence the switch for the old M&StL freight house was about here. It's just visible behind Span and Rose in the upper left of the pic. There are 2 CGW tracks running off behind S&R off to camera left.
Minneapolis and St. Louis EMD NW1 #D-538 sits at the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay, WI on a nice sunny afternoon.
Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway was merged into the Chicago and Northwestern in 1960, yet in 2010 here is a railcar!
A MUCH better picture of most likely the same car, (bet it don't go far!)
Another Escanaba shot- these were behind two fences so I didn't really want to crawl back there...plus some shady looking workers were walking about. Here's the best I could do!
Cool to see the grey MoW paint fading away to boxcar red.

An abandoned bridge by Cessford. I don't know if it was from an abandoned road or rail. It's narrow enough I think it was rail but there wasn't a line here according to the IDOT abandonment PDF, so it would have to have been a siding for the quarry. I hope to get better pics of the 4 or 5 abandoned rail bridges/culverts/drainage trestles/abutments I know of in Tama county one of thsee days.
The location is approximately correct. It's on that side of the road north of LeGrand, between 2 Cessford driveways.
edit: the more I look at this side the more I'm thinking road bridge.... at the moment anyway. :)
One of my favorite depots, the former M&STL depot in Fairfax, MN is now a museum. The line is now owned by the Minnesota Prairie Line, a subsidiary of the Twin Cities and Western. Work has been done on this line as there seems to be heavier rail, new ballast, and the replacement of some ties.
The Peoria Gateway, via the Western railway Museum in Rio Vista, CA. I found this beauty sitting in front of their car barn.
