Southbound at Hinckley |
| Description: |
Unfortunately a few of my slides are showing some degrading with age, so the sky is a bit funky. This is a Milwaukee Road train heading south at Hinckley about to cross where the NP line went, and where the track to the left goes into the yard. There were alot of different units running on this line between 81 and 85. |

Uncertain future |
| Description: |
This was a shot I took in the spring of 1986 looking west from the Soo Line high bridge after the railroad shut the line down and the rust was starting to slowly overtake the rail. This line would be out of service for about 1.5 years before the Wisconsin Central began to own/operate it in the fall of 1987. |

This is looking north from Wisconsin into Minnesota on the Danbury Sub just a year or so before the tracks were removed to Superior. This is now about a 100 mile recreational trail. |

In the mid 1980s, Dakota Rail operated a dinner train in the Lester Prairie area that ran along this old BN branchline at very, low speeds. The track was feeble and the train lasted a couple years before moving to Stillwater MN as the Minnesota Zephyr in July 1987. Here the train is heading east on 66 lb rail. |

This was the new alignment from the old GN to the Soo Line near Dedham, WI in 1988 as the BN was preparing to shift from their trouble prone bridge to the Soo Lines more stable alignment. Ironically, the Soo Line had just pulled up the tracks on this line from Dresser WI within a little over a year before. |

The first time I rode this line in about 1987 to Agawa Canyon, I was so impressed I decided to ride it all the way to Hearst. It has some of the most pristine, scenery I have seen, and south of Agawa Canyon you feel like you are in the Rocky Mountains! |

Curves for days! |
| Description: |
The Algoma Central is probably one of the curviest lines in Canada, as it negotiates many lakes and the geological remains of large rocks/mountains on the east end of Lake Superior. You wouldnt expect it in what many would think would be flat prairie land. Amazingly beautiful area. |

Agawa Canyon station |
| Description: |
This is the stop that the tourist train from St. Ste. Marie makes about 110 miles north. This train can be up 15-20 cars long and usually runs daily in the summer. The Hearst train at this time would vary from 5 days a week in the summer to 3 or 4 days a week in the winter. |

Amtrak 8 |
| Description: |
Change is happening fast on the Route of the Hiawatha, as the Soo Line has taken the eastward track out of service and within a year or so the double track to Chicago will be gone. |

CNW in slow motion |
| Description: |
This is possibly the slowest freight train I ever watched, and I believe the speed limit on this line at the time was 5 mph from Cannon Falls to Randolph. The tracks have been improved since these days, but not sure how business is. This is an ex-CGW branchline. |
