Being that Jamestown is known as the "buffalo city," it's really only appropriate that one of the locals that serves the town is called the "buffalo turn" |

The Rolla Local reaches its final destination of the Cando Farmers Grain & Oil Elevator in Cando. It's taken the crew about an hour and a half to travel the 15 miles between here and Churchs Ferry (where the Rolla branch meets up with the Devils Lake mainline), but their day isn't done yet - they'll spend over an hour here, in one of the more interestingly named cities in North Dakota, attaching and detaching grain cars. |

Jamestown Local |
| Description: |
Though you need to squint to see the entire Jamestown Local spread out on the famed bridge the Northern Pacific built across the Sheyenne River in Valley City, North Dakota, it should be pretty apparent how imposing the 3,860 foot long structure is and how far away you have to be to get it in one camera frame. The Great Northern built a shorter, but highly similar, bridge about 30 miles upstream from here near Luverne.
