In the rain |
Description: |
This is Davis Junction; an otherwise odd spot on the map that attracts your attention, which leads to a trip to see what's there. It's drizzling and gray- but the station still stands at the crossing of the former MILW (now SOO, later CP) main and a joint BN (CB&Q)/Soo (MILW) branch. Off to the side are a pair of GP38-2s and a former MN&S SW1500. Fascinating place- and worth the stop. |

This view looks east into Indiana. The depot still stands but the elevator appears unused and the siding and small yard have been pulled up. The image could fit a lot of small towns throughout the region. |

Title: |
Louie's Route |
Description: |
The former M&StL bridge over the Mississippi River, looking up-stream at Keithsburg IL. The original bridge was opened for the Iowa Central in 1888; it's stone piers are still visable. The later structure opened in 1910 and remained in operation until the&line was abandoned by the CNW in 1971. Like most similar structures you really need a boat or airplane to do justice to photographing it- maybe next time! |
