NBST at NR
Another entry from the old NBST files. Less than optimal light but the sun and snow bounces a little back onto the nose, besides it's hard to find fault with a lashup like this. The signboard for New Richmond is located about halfway along the siding and while not a far walk it usually doesn't show up well in my photos. It's nice to have it in this look back. This is just about the spot where the original mainline diverged southwest across the present day golf course on it's way to the old crossing of the St. Croix River. From here west the Minneapolis Sub follows the new alignment built at the same time as the high bridge (1911). January 18, 2002.
