I am going to close out this album with a shot from my car at 72 mph chasing a one car local going for the quit on the former NP route at Pine City. The Milwaukee Road crews were known for running 60-65 mph on this line(speed limit was 50), but this little Tasmanian Local beat all of them this day! I remember wondering if a cop would be over the next rise in the road as I attempted to chase this train for a few miles and finally gave up as he sped away for the tie up at Hinckley yard, as I tie up my photo journey with you from all these years ago! |
