CBQ 9412B |
| Description: |
the Burlington was said 2b "Everywhere West"--- and when yard engines left Dayton's Bluff on transfers to other railroads in the Twin Cities- they were often used in multiple unit engine consists each engine always faced the same direction--- WEST!!! Usually there was 2 or 3 but one day i saw a transfer heading to the GN or NP with 7 of these sw1000's and yes they were all facing west!!! Then one day someone decided that "the red birds" meaning the road power from LaCrosse and Chicago- could run thru to the GN @Union Yard and also to the NP @Northtown--- it was a sad day 4me!!! |

CBQ 9987A |
| Description: |
Passing Dunn @the east end of St Paul Yard on the Milwaukee Road and Dayton's Bluff on Burlington- "Running with the current of traffic" meaning east on the Eastward track along highway 61 between Oakland and the dispatcher @Newport--- this was joint double track with the Rock Island having trackage rights west of Newport to St Paul. It was left hand running because of the climb up and out of the Mississippi River valley west of St Croix Tower near Hastings, Minnesota on the Milwaukee and Prescott, Wisconsin on the Burlington--- where the St Croix river joins the mighty Mississippi on its way to New Orleans!!! |

CBQ 9986 (with green class lamps?!) |
| Description: |
Just out of the St Paul Union Depot which served 8 different railroads & had 23 tracks--- leaving Division Street on the CB&Q & approaching Hoffman Avenue on the Milwaukee--- four CB&Q E8/ E9 passenger engines have the combined Morning Zephyr & the GN Empire Builder with NP North Coast Limited as a second section of the same schedule soon to follow, headed on its way down the upper Mississippi River valley to LaCrosse & Chicago!!! The Burlington ran on the Wisconsin side of the river & the Milwaukee Road ran on Minnesota side, with the Milwaukee Hiawathas & Burlington Zephyrs racing & chasing each other up & down the river valley between St Croix Tower, Minnesota & La Crosse, Wisconsin. The joint track passenger mains were left hand running and the Milwaukee Road freight mains were right hand running!!! Today it is all CTC, the interlocking towers where I once worked & the roundhouse @ Dayton's Bluff are long gone & the glory that was the St. Paul Union Depot is now a parking lot!!! Most people today have no idea of what was once here & the different railroads that ran & interchanged cars between themselves!!! |
