Was the first car in #6 a diner/ lounge ?  Thanks.

Nice shots!!  Old C&NW passenger train and engine crews based in Mankato, MN and worked east to and from Madison, WI and west to Wascena, MN.  Judging by the parked vehicles at the Mankato, MN old C&NW train and engine crews based there.

I well remember that billboard in St. Paul.  It sat atop the former CMStP&O, Omaha Road, freight house for years.  We would drive right
past it on Kellog Boulevard.  As I recall, the freight house was just east of SPUD and across Kellog Boulevard. Thanks for posting.

Actually, engine crews were changed at Winona, MN.
East of Winona was the Wisconsin Division, Winona
and west was the Dakota Division.
