St Paul MN Daytons Bluff CB&Q Burlington Route steam in 1943. |
| Description: |
The CPR still runs the hump and shops in St Paul. UP operates the CGW yard to the right, and the BNSF has an auto rack unloader to the left. That is a CB&Q Burlington Route steamer 1 mile before the St Paul Union depot. The BNSF and CPR share the two double mainlines from St Paul to Chicago today, even some UP trains. The water tank on the left was for the CBQ. The stack on the right is the Milw engine house that remains working today. UP Belt yard is to the right. Photo taken from Warner Road bridge used today by cars. |
