MILW 267 at Sunset Passes St. Croix Tower on June 24, 1964 |
| Description: |
Milwaukee Road GP9 267 brings a freight northbound past St. Croix Tower, Minn. on June 24, 1964. It has just crossed the Mississippi (it came up the west side of the River) just north of Hastings, Minn. The track coming in from the right is from the CB&Q's bridge across the St. Croix River just north of where the St. Croix joins the Mississippi just north of Prescott, Wisc. (Note: At this point the Croix River becomes the boarder between Minnesota and Wisconsin.) The CB&Q came up the east side of the River. Both are single track railroads at this point. This freight and all northbound trains of both railroads, except local freights that have work, take the Milwaukee's line, which is along the river shore and presents the least northbound grade. Southbound trains of both railroads use the CB&Q track which is up on the bluff and has steeper northbound grades. The joint track is jointly dispatched and as a pair and have reverse direction running, ala CNW. The Rock Island joins this shared trackage into St. Paul at the next tower north. In 1964 this 18-miles stretch of track from here to St. Paul saw 5 or 6 operating towers. |

The Afternoon Hiawatha in 1964 |
| Description: |
Milwaukee Road's northbound Train 3, "The Afternoon Hiawatha" is just about to come off the Mississippi River Bridge at Hastings, MN, about 18 miles southeast of St. Paul and almost 400 miles from Chicago, where it left at 1:00 p.m. E9A (my notes say it was #33 but it had to be either 33Aor 33C) leads two F units this beautiful summer evening of June 24, 1964. |
