TJ Gaspers	General	That is so sad... I remember working the Ford Jobs just a few times- and I remember another conductor around my seniority saying "Ya know, this is going to be our version of Southtown and we will someday say 'Remember those Ford Jobs? Only worked them a couple times, but what great jobs!'"- he was right.	5/6/2013 2:21:45 AM

Paul OGara	General	Drove by this the other day and they have a derail bolted into the rail about a quarter mile away where the double track goes to single track .	5/13/2013 7:02:45 PM

Tony Held	General	Looks like they tore down the old yard office and tore up the parking lot. But I saw freight cars parked here just this past Easter!	5/28/2013 3:29:24 PM

Andrew Koetz	General	The city of St. Paul had asked the CP to leave the yard intact for movement of demolition materials, i.e. concrete, steel, and asphault for easier disposal. This would also lessen traffic, as the demolition company would not have to use trucks to haul out the demoed material.	6/16/2013 10:12:02 AM

Andrew Koetz	General	This would make for a good yard to model for a FREEMO layout. :)	6/16/2013 10:13:11 AM
