Where Track And Trail Switch Places |
| Description: |
Here the TC&W swings off the former Milwaukee Road onto the old Minneapolis and St. Louis line to Cedar Lake Junction and the trail takes over the old Milwaukee. Sign in distance says "End EBT". What's that? |

What Is Left Of Bass Lake Yard |

Two tracks are all that remain of the former Milwaukee Road Bass Lake yard, now used for occasional car storage. Street is Belt Line Boulevard. Ex-Minneapolis and Saint Louis main line (now a trail) is in the right background along with the historic concrete grain silo here. |

| Title: |
Rail Corridor Narrows |
| Description: |
The sign on the right side of the signal demonstrates the tight squeeze from here up to past the trestles over a tributary of Cedar Lake. The footprint of the old yard begins to widen out past that point. Tight space supposedly justifies kicking the TC&W off the line in favor of building LRT here. |

Roster shot. Surprised they kept the "Generation II Locomotives" paint job after the minor fire the unit had a little while ago. |
