railroad maps
Every now and then I find something that makes me stop and think about the railroad, specifically the Chicago & Dakota branch of the Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad that was laying track west of the Winona & St. Peter line that stopped in Tracy, Minnesota, back in 1879. I've spent the better part of the last three hours looking at Minnesota maps, section by section from Tracy west. I'll probably be at it for a while, but I just thought I should check in before midnight. Btw, you need written permission from the Vice President of today's railroad (Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern) before you can walk (explore) the railroad right-of-way. And don't forget to be wearing safety orange when you do...
