“NP” SW1200 105, former Lake Superior Terminal and Transfer 105, is about ready to re-enter service. Most summers is it stationed at the Osceola and St Croix Valley Railway for passenger service. However, it has been at the Jackson St. Roundhouse since last November receiving maintenance and over the last weekend we finished the work outside in the sunshine…
What cool roundhouse! The turntable too! They look to be in very good condition. Are they still used by a railroad, or are they used for preservation activities only?
Hmmmmmm it’s nice to get out in the daylight and fresh air once in a while…
The roundhouse is used by the MN Transportation Museum as both a museum and active shop for our cars and locomotives. And yes, it certainly is nice to work out in the fresh air!
