PGR 42
Title:  PGR 42
Description:  The number of sand facilities and the number of car loads they put out is almost staggering. This is a short look into the Superior Silica Sands at New Auburn. There is much more to the facility than this shows. Twenty years ago, who would have guessed sand would become such a valuable commodity to the railroads, outside of insiders that were aware of the fracking potential for oil.

I Caught Them At Last!
Title:  I Caught Them At Last!
Description:  I finally bagged the three units Progressive Rail was using on the ex-Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern main from Lakeville to Northfield (their "Jesse James Line") before they were moved to the Wisconsin Northern, where their six-axle configuration came in handy on the lighter rail there. I wish #40 was leading, since she is the prize of the group--she also sported that number and wore the same paint job for the Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern, but rather than trespass into the yard to get a head-on shot, I made do with what I had.
