SD40-2 950 and SD45 907

SD40-2 950 and SD45 907 at St. Louis, Missouri in August 1978.

The location is the Lindenwood Yard diesel shop service track fuel pad.

The view is looking northeast toward downtown St. Louis. In the distance, by the yard tower, one can see the Arsenal Street overpass over the yard. To the left beyond the trees, on the north side of the yard, is the River Des Peres. This is near its junction with Deer Creek.

Special thanks to Mark Davidson.

SD40-2 6840 (Frisco 950) at Fridley, Minnesota in September 1982.

This is an inner ring suburb, north of Minneapolis. The view is at Northtown Yard of the successor railroad, looking to the northeast, on the west side of the diesel shop. The bridge is 44th Avenue Northeast (also known as Anoka County Highway 2). The yellow exterior sand tower is no longer there.

Today, the large grain elevator complex is operated by General Mills.

East of the photo location, the elevator is at 25 44th Avenue Northeast and the current railroad’s Twin Cities Offices are at 80 44th Avenue Northeast.

Special thanks to Mark Davidson.
