MINNESOTA RAILROAD GUIDE
This is a working
guide to the state's railroads - from the big Class 1 to the small grain co-ops
with a lone switcher. While much of the research and information is current we
always need help with the latest observations. We also do have historical info
on some of the recent railroads that have
disappeared from the Minnesota rail
scene.
We can use help in photos, current locomotive assignments, etc.
for many of the shortlines and especially the industrial
locomotives all across
the state. If you can help please email us at rrclubum@umn.edu
Thanks and
enjoy!
