432--- along the Great River |
Description: |
Having passed our house in Rockland earlier--- We have now caught up with the same westbound that was still out and running ahead of Amtk7--- between La Crosse, Wisconsin and Winona, Minnesota! This is on the western or Minnesota side of the Great River Valley, thus the tree covered sandstone hills on the other side of the river are in Wisconsin. Sometimes when you can see across the river, you might see a BNSF train racing for the St Croix Tower interlocking which is the beginning of the "joint double track" into St Paul and the once busy Union Depot where the "Great Northern Pacific" as some called it then ran west crossing the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific ocean and the cities of Seattle, Tacoma and Portland! |

444--- along the Great River |
Description: |
And so that part of our trip that began when this train went by our house in Rockland, Wisconsin was now drawing to a close as they prepared to take siding south of Winona to let the westbound "Empire Builder" Amtk7 pass or so we thought at the time!!! The signals used here on the Soo/ CP are rather different from anything that I ever used to see, but after a while they "grew on me" and after a while I kind of took a liking to them!!! It just goes to say that--- "different people in different places do the same things differently"!!! And that is part of the fun and the glory of it!!! |

Standing on the platform and looking back down the line in the direction from which we had come!!! We knew that they were close because soon the detector was heard on the radio announcing "No Defects!!!" This is always good news!!! |
