Heading back east to Stillwater, the Zephyr goes through a nice S curve that was relayed with ribbon rail by BN in 1980. The train carried over 1,000,000 people in its 21 year run at Stilwater. |

The Zephyr is heading downhill again through Oak Glen Golf Course, and some kids have setup a little ice hockey rink next to the tracks. This line was originally laid in about 1872. One of the first lines in Minnesota |

Minnesota Zephyr in its zenith |
| Description: |
This is a picture of the dinner train as it was heading uphill near Oak Glen Golf Course and is actually the rear of the train. This train ran from 7/10/1987 until 12/31/2008 and carried close to one million people. I was very, actively involved with the MTM which ran this line from 1987 to 1991. |

Minnesota Zephyr |
| Description: |
Stopped at the west end of the line at Duluth Jct, the dinner train stopped for about 30 mn before heading back on its leisurely trip to Stillwater. This was the 2nd winter it was running, and ridership was strong. The 787 is now in Colorado someplace along with the cars. |
