Robert Anderson	General	Those pigs are a nice touch Ron. They had a ramp back there for "circus Loading". Story around there goes,back in the day,they were backing a trailer on and tipped off the flatcar crushing the yardmasters Buick. Maybe Steve remembers another incident at Little Falls on NP. A WB came around that 20 mph sharp curve behind the Hennepin Paper mill. Semi with big rolls of heavy paper was struck in driveway there. A couple of these rolls got loose crushing nearby parked vehicles.	3/6/2018 1:54:44 PM

CBQ 9412B
the Burlington was said 2b "Everywhere West"--- and when yard engines left Dayton's Bluff on transfers to other railroads in the Twin Cities- they were often used in multiple unit engine consists each engine always faced the same direction--- WEST!!! Usually there was 2 or 3 but one day i saw a transfer heading to the GN or NP with 7 of these sw1000's and yes they were all facing west!!! Then one day someone decided that "the red birds" meaning the road power from LaCrosse and Chicago- could run thru to the GN @Union Yard and also to the NP @Northtown--- it was a sad day 4me!!!
