The night crew at the CTRR ride their long trusted steed, this SW1 built in 1941, out of the yard and past the Northeastern Saloon, (which displays an original hand written liquor license dated 1885 and has been in continous operation since 1903 having survived the great fire in 1918 which destroyed most of the town of Cloquet), while on their way to switch the Sappi paper mill, who own the railroad. The entire railroad boosts trackage totaling four miles.
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
