CBQ 9986 (with green class lamps?!)
Title:  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!!!
