Better Than I Thought |
| Description: |
It pays to stand 6'5 feet tall: I was able to get this shot of PGR 36 on the grounds of their Bloomington freight house despite the chain link fence surrounding the grounds. The shot came out better than I thought since the sun was shining from behind the subject. |

Good Thing I Brought A Camera! |
| Description: |
I almost forgot my camera on this outing. If I had, I wouldn't have been able to grab this shot of the crew aboard PGR 36 shoving a cut of three cars towards their freight house. Photo location is at the west 96th street grade crossing along the maze of industrial tracks jutting off of the old Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern "high line" west if 35W. |

PGR 36 And Freight House Sign |
| Description: |
Here we have PGR's former MN&S SW15000 parked in the freight house on a sunny late August evening. Since I usually catch this unit here, for variety's sake I composed into this shot the "All Drivers" sign on the left. |

Milwaukee Road And MN&S Vets |
| Description: |
Along Progressive Rail's former MN&S High Line route just west of Lyndale Avenue down by their open-air shops next to Ziegler CAT we find a Milwaukee Road vet in the form of CP GP40 4609 parked idling out on the main track and a Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern vet in the form of PGR SW1500 36 sitting parked shut down on the spur into Ziegler. Nice! |

Resting for the next day |
| Description: |
During the summer of 2013, after interchanging with CP, the crew of Progressive Rail would leave their motive power parked near Auto Club Yard for the night. Not sure why, but it was a good opportunity to get some nice shots. |

All coupled up but staying put |
| Description: |
We are outside PGR's Bloomington freight house in thip photo. It looks like the 36 is ready to roll here. Well it technically is, but it is shut off and resting beneath mild June skies this evening. Track in the right background junctions with another spur just south of the grade crossing in the distance. |

The Illusion Of An Approaching Train |
| Description: |
The PGR 36 waits on the west side of the 35W bridge on a gorgeous early afternoon in late April. It was sitting unmanned due to the PGR's "push/pull" operations on the line utilizing units at each end of their trains. At this moment the crew was using PGR 34 to switch their freight house, leaving the 36 to create the illusion of an oncoming train down at the bridge. I still kept my distance regardless. Better safe than sorry, folks. |

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. |
