Where The Sunrise Prairie Trail (aka NP Skally Line) Ends
Title:  Where The Sunrise Prairie Trail (aka NP Skally Line) Ends
Description:  From Forest Lake to North Branch, the old Northern Pacific Skally Line is now known as the Sunrise Prairie Trail. The trail ends at Main Street, but it is not on the actual NP right-of-way due to the post-abandonment development at left which took a bite out of the line. Behind me the rails are intact from here to Hinckley thanks to enough business which kept the Burlington Northern happy until shortline railroad St. Croix Valley took this active piece of the Skally Line off of BN's hands.

Skally
Title:  Skally
Description:  Back to the Future? What the Skally Line could have looked like if BN/BNSF had kept it. And this definately was not the Hinckley local. Not sure what was going on, but quite the surprise to find these on this dead-end line of the SCXY.

ILSX 1390
Title:  ILSX 1390
Description:  The next train stop wasnt until North Branch, MN. In North Branch, the St. Croix Valley RR begins its 20ish mile trackage north to Hinkley MN where it meets the BNSF. The SCRY is jointly owned between ILSX and MLSX, and all but one engine are decorated in a sharp Northern Pacific coat of black and gold (except for the one maroon ILSX engine featured here). In North Branch the railroad serves a grain elevator that doesnt get used very often, but still does on occasion. These two engines are parked for the weekend and I would assume will pull a train in the coming week.
