I promised some pictures of the Northern Lines working Quebecorp So here they are.
Dateline Saint Cloud Minnesota March 20th 2008.
My wife and I just happened to be driving past the Quebecorp facility and the Northern Lines Railway just happened to be working the siding there. So camera in hand I clicked away.
1. The GP10 arrives caboose first with 3 gondolas of scrap and the box car for Quebecorp

2. After leaving the 3 gondolas on the headshunt. the box car is uncoupled and drawn forward blocking the road

3. The turnout is switched..

4. And the car is pushed into the siding

5. The Quebecorp building has about 5 spots for cars and after dropping the car off at its allocated spot with a belch of black smoke it pulls away

6. It then couples back up to the gondolas and heads back to base.

Sorry about the quality of some of the shots but I've recently upgraded to Mac OS10.5 Leopard and as a consequence none of my old OS9 software works anymore.
But there you are a photographic record of 10 minutes action at Quebecorp.[/img]

Finally, after looking at that stretch of track almost daily, I finally see evidence that it's used. Thanks for posting those!
