The local presses on. After setting out a couple of hoppers at a local feed and seed mill in tiny Burnett, WI, a SOO Line local freight departs the Main St. Yard westbound for Wapun, Brandon and ultimately, Fairwater, where she'll tie down for the night. A passer-by who had paused to watch the switching moves in the light drizzle, now watches the departure from warmer and drier front seat of his shiny black DeSoto.
