I was somewhere in the Midwest, on a trip from Colorado, to shoot pictures in the Twin Cities.

I doubt the 1555 would have worked as far west as Lander or Fremont, but it could have happened. Dennis Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/13/12 05:24 by CNW.

Could possibly be East St Paul. Date: 12/13/12 13:57 Re: mFile: C&NW Alco RS3 whereizit from 1969 Author: theshoe I agree -- Mankato MN and that's a cement plant on the horizen
