Quiet in the northwoods |
| Description: |
This is looking south at the small siding of Patzau. Soo Line had neat speeder sheds along this line, and probably a small pulpwood loading track off the siding at the left. This is about 3 miles south of where the BN realigned the Hinckley Sub to the Danbury Sub in 1988-89. |

Soo Line main out of service |
| Description: |
This is looking east on the Soo Line Chicago to Twin Cities main during the summer of 1986, when the Soo shut it down after the Milwaukee Road merger. The Wisconsin Central took over the line sometime in 1987, so thankfully it was saved. It was actually in much better condition than most of the Milwaukees own main line to Chicago! |

Eastbound arriving Northtown yard. |
| Description: |
As the train passes, you can see the ice and snow buildup that always caused problems with air flow and couplers when the trains arrived in the yard. I didnt envy the carmen when I worked the winters of 1988-90 at Northtown as a clerk. |
