Correct.  This is the west end of the Soo's Mississippi River crossing and the train is
westbound.  The diverging track is for the Soo's North Minneapolis industrial branch 
which also hosted Soo passenger trains from the west to downtown Minneapolis.  The
big customer on this line as I recall was the Minneapolis Tribune's printing plant which
recieved many loads of paper.  I don't know where it is today.  

Nice shot, thanks for posting.

Nice shot.  Still a busy bridge on the CP's Chicago - Minneapolis - Calgary - Vancouver mainline (with Minneapolis - Chicago traffic on the Milwaukee Road since the mid-1980s).

Great shot. Looks like the diverging track goes nowhere today.

And the line itself deadends into a uilding near Plymouth, Avenue.  I need to check out
these map links more often.
