in I 'think' 1993 the CNW resurfaced the former Minnesota Western trackage along its entire 7 miles, though it still remained a 15 slow order for that whole distance.

The CNW operated this line with ONE train on the weekdays as needed. It was not unusual to see a train on this line 5 days a week, but the more common traffic was 3 times a week.

Here we see the new crossing surface, a nice rubber one that was remarkably smooth to drive over.

The roadway is Mendelssohn Ave N.

Take note the well maintained and fully operating Griswold 'Turning STOP sign' signals.

Sadly under the UP these signals have been replaced.

Just in the shot is my car at the time, a rusty 1979 Volvo 245.
