NUMBER 90  I had created a reply to your post but it wound up in cyber space!!

 

hope this information helps identify areas you can watch I miss these cameras as they are my link to a childhood of many decades ago I can remember the switch towers and all the metal rods that moved the switch points ahhh those were the days when you could walk around and as long as we stayed out of harms way no one told us to leave a more simpler time then!

St.Paul, thanks for the info.  I was fortunate to ride passenger trains into and out of Minneapolis, both at the Milwaukee Road station (Rock Island, 1952, '56, '57) and the Great Northern Station (Omaha Road, 1954).  I recall the Omaha Road stopping in St. Paul right nest to the solarium parlor car of one of the GN Duluth trains.  Thanks to the Friends of the 261 I have made four modern era trips through St. Paul Union Depot.  Too bad I did not go there in the 1960's with my camera, when I was single and could have made that kind of a trip.
