Minnesota Zephyr at Summit |
| Description: |
The westbound train is passing through Summit on the old BN branch on a beautiful summer evening and is about halfway through its 5.5 mile trip to Duluth Jct. Summit was the siding that the Zephyr met the MTM trains at from 1987 to 1991. |

Minnesota Zephyr in its zenith |
| Description: |
A front view of the westbound train as it climbs the Browns Creek grade on its 5.5 mile slow run towards White Bear Lake. This was a high point for this old branch line from 1987 to 1991, as it was hauling over 75,000 people per year, on the two trains running on the line in those years, with up to 10 trains travelling the line on weekend days. |

I want to work for the railroad! |
| Description: |
This picture isnt quite in focus, but I still like it. A young boy watches in the Summit siding out of the rear of the MTM train as the MN Zephyr approaches. I was his age when I took my first train ride less than five miles from where he is.. |

Meet at Summit |

In an interesting picture from old and older, the Minnesota Zephyr passes the MN Transporation Museum train in the siding at Summit on its westward trip to Duluth Jct. Soon the 328 will leave the siding for the 3 mile trip to Stillwater. |
