Ghost From The Past
Title:  Ghost From The Past
Description:  Progressive Rail 36, a Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern veter`n, has been back on old home rails for years as motive power on PGR's Dan Patch Line--the former MN&S "Hi Line." Here the engine is north of 86th Street while the crew aboard swithhes hoppers stored on the spur for the closed mill (?) off 86th. Save for the new name and modern additions, the 36 is a ghost from the MN&S's past.

Paused At Lyndale
Title:  Paused At Lyndale
Description:  The Progressive Rail's Dan Patch Line crew apparently paused in the middle of their work, shut the 34 and 36 down, and "went for beans" (i.e., lunch) by the time I showed up and captured my latest portrait of the Dan Patch Line duo.
