Nicholas Benson General I beleive you are correct with your assertion that all of the track in this shot is ex CGW. At the time of this photo it would have been CNW, which became UP, and is now PGR. This is the north end of Northfield, and the brdige is the MN 3. This line continues to Randolf, and eventually to Cannon Falls. I believe the track off to the right is all that remains today. 11/16/2008 5:29:39 PM
