Location is Camden Place on Soo Line's Mississippi River Bridge. The train has departed the downtown Minneapolis depot and is using the wye (yes, there was a wye on the bridge) to head towards Shoreham Yard. This structure is still used today by CP, but the wye section the train is on has been abandoned and there is no longer a switch in the middle of the bridge.

One of my favorite railroads since I lived near it and criscrossed all over it's system. What a bridge. That would make one heck of a model, with a switch and Y on it to boot.
Thanks for that photo. Craig Hanson Vay, Idaho |
