Jim, The line paralleling US #12 was once the GN line. At one time Trains 27 and 28, The Fast Mail, operated over this line as did the Red River. The NP line paralleled US #10 and ran through towns like Anoka, Elk River, Little Falls, St. Cloud, Staples, and so on. Interesting, to be sure, as to what has happened in the last 30 years.

I drove out there there today and saw a dozen trains. Lead units were CSX, NS, CN and BNSF; so the second question is who operates the line today? I would have thought it was a BNSF property, but I saw more CSX units than anything else on all those trains.
