I was heading up Hiway 61 this past weekend and stumbled across this unit.

Anybody know what it's doing up there? Where it came from etc etc etc? The place looks closed down but there were also a half dozen or so tanker cars sitting there. I'm wondering about the coiled cord on the side.

The MNNR continues too add more of those Gons to the storage line in WBL also, anybody ever figure out where there comming from?

Perhaps for a block heater?

Seems like it hasn't moved from that spot since January. Better shot than mine in the snow.

So that's where CTM 1 ended up. What is the place it's sitting out in front of?

For at least a couple years that unit was used to switch the transload facility in Fridley. I believe the CTM stands for 'Commercial Transload of Minnesota'.

The big yellow patch paint on the hood is new. Wasn't there in Feb. Taggers maybe?
