Is There Going To Be A MOW Blitz? |
| Description: |
A closer look at the gaggle of MOW vehicles and equipment I found parked off the MNS Spur just north of west 78th street on a recent Monday evening. Is the old MN&S main line going to be undergoing a MOW blitz, or is this stuff just stored here? |

Another abandoned industrial spur on the MN&S Sub |
| Description: |
Lots of abandoned industrial spurs can be found along rail lines, and the MN&S Sub is no exception. Here is another abandoned industrial spur in Edinas Industrial Park area just to the north of Bloomington. It appears this spur was also last used in the 1990s. |

Just south of the Dewey Hill Road crossing is this little shelter and sign. It certainly looks old enough to be from when steam engines were on these tracks, perhaps even when the tracks belonged to the Dan Patch Line. |

At Last! |

I have long wanted to photograph a train traveling on the MNS Spur at Valley Lane in Edina. This morning my dream came true! I find it interesting that today's 0630 is a mix of old and new power after chasing one earlier this month which had a matched pair of ECO GP20Cs for power. |
