I grew up in uptown Mpls along MILW’s west mainline to NoDak and west. The area in uptown was abandoned by CP late last year, I still have a hard time accepting that the tracks are gone and won’t come back. The city is planning on putting in light rail or a trolley to use the vacated rails. A friggin trolley?? WTF, I’m still bitter.
It’s a dam shame that SOO painted over all the MILW marks on the engines and cabs. Makes me wish I would have taken more pics. Bandits are still alive and well at Humboldt and St. Paul yards though.
The TH&B, Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo. It used track in the Niagara region of southern Ontario. It was, I think part of CPR. I enjoyed the paint schemes of both the motive power and cars.
Richmond, Fredricksburg & Potomac R.R.
One of the busiest double track mains in the northeast. I can remember when the trains ran every 15 mins. and were running at spped with little or no delays
