Quick turn around |
| Description: |
My wife does Bible study with a group of ladies on Thursday afternoons, so I take the opportunity to go after anything that shows up while shes out. Not five minutes after she left the house, I heard a horn, which sounded like a northbound. I got out, taking her Dodge Stratus R/T, and headed into town. As I reached Lake Frances Rd, I saw a southbound coal train rolling toward Watts. I made a quick U turn, and headed for Westville, working back toward Watts. I made it about two miles up, when I saw the train headed south. A quick turn around later, I shot him from the shoulder of US 59, and took off. |

A little hustle |

After getting the shot up at the cow pasture, I hustled down to Buffington Rd, hoping Id beat the train there. I sorta did, getting this shot out the car window as it approached the crossing. |

On the creek |
| Description: |
The DPU crosses Baron Creek, in another shot taken from the car window. I love driving the Dodge, but getting in and out of the low slung car quickly is now a challenge for my six foot, 240 pound body with bad ankles and stiff joints. Sometimes I yield to the effects of advancing decrepitude. Its now late enough in the year that the sun does not come around to the west side of the bridge til very late in the day, and then the shadows of twilight are taking over. |

DPUs, finally |
| Description: |
I had been trying to get some good shots of the head end, and knew if I waited for the DPU at Westville, the shot at Baron was in question. After the signal shot, the only shot to do on the creek, and here at CR E 754 was the DPU. It was getting toward 1400, and I wanted to get heading back, since we had to go to Coweta OK for my grandsons football game. Notable, is the three unit set of DPU's, all BNSF. Usually there are a couple of KCS units added at Pittsburg. |

Duluth Union Station "Great Hall" |
| Description: |
Built in 1892 in the French Norman style with rounded turrets made from granite, sandstone and yellow brick, the building served until being closed in 1969. Unfortunately with major repairs/restoration going on to the exterior, I couldn't get any photos of it. The Great Hall off of Michigan Street once served as the general waiting room. |

Duluth Union Station "Great Hall" |
| Description: |
This at one time must have been a busy location that served over the years seven railroads - DIR, DMIR, DSSA, DMN, GN and StPD. It had a newsstand and lunch counter. In the main floor level, there was a barber shop, Western Union telegraph office, a smoking room, a ladies waiting room and a man's toilet. |

Two Harbors Ore Docks |
| Description: |
Tightly connected to the history of railroading in Minnesota is the discovery of huge deposits of iron ore in the Iron Range loacted just west of Two Harbors. Iron ore pellets called taconite were brought from the mines by trains to the ore docks for shipment to steel mills. The Duluth and Iron Range RR was one of the first to move the ore from the mines to the docks. |

| Description: |
The Duluth & Iron Range Railroad was one of the first to move the taconite to the ore docks. Later reorganized, the Duluth, MIssabe & Iron Range Railway carried on. In 2004, Canadian National purchased the DMIR and now supplies the rail power to feed these ore docks. Only the two docks on the right are in service today. |

Duluth & Iron Range Railroad Depot |
| Description: |
With the rise of iron ore pellet (taconite) shipments from the ore docks in Two Harbors, MN, the Duluth and Iron Range Railroad built this large office with the lower left corner serving as a depot for the growing town. Shipments of ore began in 1884 but it wasn't until 1907 that the DIR corporate headquarters and depot were established in this building. |

Unfortunately, passenger service to the depot ended in 1961 and freight service to the depot ended in the 1980's. The building was donated to the Lake County and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

| Title: |
CN ROW West |
| Description: |
This is a view toward the west of the current Canadian National/North Schore Scenic RR ROW. Around the curve leads into the CN iron ore that feeds the taconite to the Two Harbors loading docks. That was a fairly restricted area so no photos were taken of it. |
