Ghost From The Past |
| Description: |
Progressive Rail 36, a Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern veter`n, has been back on old home rails for years as motive power on PGR's Dan Patch Line--the former MN&S "Hi Line." Here the engine is north of 86th Street while the crew aboard swithhes hoppers stored on the spur for the closed mill (?) off 86th. Save for the new name and modern additions, the 36 is a ghost from the MN&S's past. |

Dan Patch Line Power In Repose |
| Description: |
Parked on the main line instead of the spur (due to a movement to be made into Ziegler CAT?), the Dan Patch Line motive power rests beneath balmy Saturday afternoon skies on National Train Day 2018. |

Paused At Lyndale |
| Description: |
The Progressive Rail's Dan Patch Line crew apparently paused in the middle of their work, shut the 34 and 36 down, and "went for beans" (i.e., lunch) by the time I showed up and captured my latest portrait of the Dan Patch Line duo. |

First Pic Of 2024! |
| Description: |
My first railfan run of 2024 took me to Progressive Rail's Dan Patch line, and the first pic was of the line's SW1500 duo down at the "shops" southwest of Lyndale Avenue on a snow-free February afternoon courtesy of a strong El Nino (though, coincidentally, a storm was destined to drop some snow the very next day!) |

Parked Separately |
| Description: |
Usually Progressive Rail's Dan Patch Line power can be found coupled together at the open air "shops" west of Lyndale Avenue on the old Hi-Line. This mild Saturday afternoon, however, they were decoupled with PGR 34 on the spur into Ziegler CAT and PGR 36 out on the main. Perhaps the 34 was awaiting repairs of some sort? |
