This Minnesota Valley train is ready to head west on the Milwuakee Road after interchanging cars with the CNW local out of E. Minneapolis. MNVA was going to take this train out to Norowood to enter its own trackage for the run out to Moron, MN.

This train will cover 30 miles on the Soo Line Ortonville Sub out to Norwood and enter its own tracks for the slow trek to Morton.

TJHE BASS LAKE YEARD WAS OUR PLAYGROUND BACK IN THE 50S AND 60S. IT WAS A GREAT AREA TO CATCH MPLS AND ST. LOUIS ACTION BESIDES WATCHING THE MILW. BUILD TRAINS FOR THE WEST COAST. YOU CAN ALSO CATCH THE RENMENT OF THE "OLYMPIC" AS IT HEADED FOR ABERDEEN SD AND MILES CITY IN MONTANA.
