Tootin' Louie, Looking East
Title:  Tootin' Louie, Looking East
Description:  Finding an active ex-Minneapolis & St. Louis line is as rare as finding a full-fledged arcade at a shopping mall. The Tootin' Louie is alive and well in Hamburg, Minnesota, though. Here we are looking east along the line from the Park Avenue grade crossing near Bicentennial Park.

Tootin' Louie, Looking West
Title:  Tootin' Louie, Looking West
Description:  We are looking west along the former Minneapolis & St. Louis from the Park Avenue grade crossing. Note the "Hamburg" station sign. Also of note is this is where the Milwaukee 261 did a photo runby in October of 2016 during her first trip on the Louie. I wonder if the crew will do the same this year?
