Away She Goes At 10 MPH |
| Description: |
The northbound CP/Soo local tip toes along the jointed rail of the MN&S Spur as it passes Brunswick Avenue on its trip north to Humbolt Yard in Minneapolis with a lone loaded gondola the sole northbound interchange from Progressive Rail this day. I tried catching it once more up in Golden Valley, but by then the train had given me the slip. |

Double Yes! |
| Description: |
The grade crossing of the MN&S spur on Excelsior Boulevard in SLP has been a place I've always wanted to catch a train at. Finally, I got to. Here we see the northbound CP local which interchanges with Progressive Rail down in Bloomington about to cross Excelsior in a scene fit for a model railroad. |

Yes! |
| Description: |
We are just south of Excelsior Boulevard on the Canadian Pacific Soo Line MN&S Spur (the former main line of the Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern railroad), a place I've always wanted to photograph a train at. Lo and behold: by pure luck I finally got to do that! Here comes the northbound CP local which serves Nesbit Siding in Bloomington where CP interchanges with Progessive Rail, operator of the former MN&S "High Line." Today only one loaded gondola is making the return trip to Humbolt Yard. |
