Western Railroad Discussion > Holding at Cedar Lake Junction

I'm out in Minneapolis and had a great time exploring the long abandoned Cedar Lake yard (Ex Great Northern and ex-CNW which was prior to 1962, M&SL). This yard was converted to a public bikeway and pedestrian path. All of it. Only the single main for the Wazata Sub remains, which is what this train is on.

I found a nice spot that shows the skyline and where the junction is for the whatever railroad uses the ex-CNW line.

I have lots more to show, which I will do when I get home and process them.

Wow, That's a neat picture -- Back in the day we removed the main line tracks from the yard to the Hopkins depot. I was wondering what it looks like these days.

Thats the Bass Lake Yard, which I photographed yesterday. I will have those up next week.

Nice looking photo.  Although it seemed a bit strange at first that it wasn't a picture out along the Needles Sub:-)

Welcome to the Twin Cities, and nice shot! The former M&StL/CNW is now used by the Twin Cities & Western.
