SOO 735 |
| Description: |
I remember a time when GP30s and GP35s were new! The first time that I ever saw any it was on the west end of the St Paul Union Depot! They were on a westbound Milwaukee freight train which was going either to Minneapolis and perhaps west on the H&D meaning "Hastings and Dakota" or it was waiting to follow a passenger train and then cross the Mississippi River on the joint Milwaukee/ Omaha track to the I&M meaning "Iowa and Minnesota". It was a very long time ago to remember and there was no real way for me to have known! But I do remember that trains leaving the passenger station would often see a signal that appeared as Yellow over Green which was called Approach Medium! But that was on a railroad where the signals indicated speed and not a route thru a junction or interlocking! |

still "free"... |
| Description: |
after stopping at the crossing to let the conductor get off, we can see the American flag at the fire station, thus my question or comment "under freedom's flag"?! Often times, the local will stop on the east end of the siding for lunch here "in small town America"--- where one day we stopped for gas and there was a Harley and a John Deer tractor filling up! Or maybe they had only stopped for a burger and fries! Remember to take the time to stop and to enjoy the simple "everyday things" while they and/ or we are still here and still "free" and able to do so! For come tomorrow, they or we might no longer be here! |
