Great Northern ore train at Minneapolis MN Union Yard in 1967.
Title:  Great Northern ore train at Minneapolis MN Union Yard in 1967.
Description:  The Great Northern ran a few ore trains from the mines in Northern MN near Duluth down to Minneapolis MN and then transfered the trains to the CB&Q in St Paul MN. The CB&Q would run them to Chicago. Most of the GN ore was sent to ore docks near Duluth by ore boat. The BNSF still runs a few direct ore trains from Duluth to Chicago by rail. GN Union Yard in Mpls MN near the University of MN was their main yard on the east end of the System. It was as big as Northtown yard at one time. The CNW and CGW had large yards here also.

GN 309A
Title:  GN 309A
Description:  Going west from St Paul and Westminister tower the Great Northern had a four track main line on which both the Chicago Great Western and the Chicago North Western also ran between St Paul and Minneapolis!!! At St Anthony Tower the freight mains entered the east end of Union Yard crossing over the Passenger mains on four crossing diamonds as the Passenger mains headed west thru the University of Minnesota and then crossed the Mississippi River on the Stone Arch Bridge which i believe had a curve in it on the west end going into the Passenger Station!!! West of the GN Union Yard and the Minnesota Transfer which connected with the Milwaukee Road was Minneapolis Jct which was south of the Soo Line at Shoreham and the NP at Northtown--- this is all to say that there was a lot of railroading in not really a lot of space!!! At Mpls Jct was engine GN 309A--- but as you can see from the GE U Boat on the right and the "Big Sky Blue" engine on the left--- change was coming like it or not it!!!

AT&SF #42C
Title:  AT&SF #42C
Description:  Santa Fe F7A #42C (later #310C) is the lead engine for train #2, the eastbound SAN FRANCISCO CHIEF, crossing the Mississippi River at Fort Madison, IA, after having made the station stop there. Taken from the upper deck of the bridge, which carries Iowa Highway 2/Illinois Route 9. This bridge dates from 1927, replacing the former bridge from 1887 (which also carried both rail and road traffic), and is still owned by BNSF today (the highway over the bridge is tolled). The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1999. Scanned with an Epson V550 from a duplicate Ektachrome 35mm slide.
