30 mph to Hinckley! |
| Description: |
I am going to close out this album with a shot from my car at 72 mph chasing a one car local going for the quit on the former NP route at Pine City. The Milwaukee Road crews were known for running 60-65 mph on this line(speed limit was 50), but this little Tasmanian Local beat all of them this day! I remembbr wondering if a cop would be over the next rise in the road as I attempted to chase this train for a few miles and finally gave up as he sped away for the tie up,at Hinckley yard, as I tie up my photo journey with you from all these years ago! |

Rush City Turn |
| Description: |
The BNs local is just leaving Hinckley, MN on the big curve that realigned the NP onto the GN when the NP was abandoned north of here in 1976. The local will head to Beroun, Pine City and finally Rush City where a large grain elevator received service 4 to 5 days a week. This is still served by the St. Croix Valley RR. |

Old time local |
| Description: |
Seems strange that used to be common, but a caboose and four man crew are a thing of the past, and here the Hinckley Local is heading south to Hugo, MN to setout a bulkhead flat of some type of wallboard. |
