Nice shot. Did trackage from this yard tie into NP's "A" Line to the south? Note to viewers: the infamous 35W bridge is in the upper right corner, from which, in the early 1980's, I beheld the last days of this yard as a little kid during trips across down with my folks.

NP jointly used the Railway Transfer as part of their "A" Line route. I understand NP reciprocated by giving M&St.L rights over NP to St. Paul. This was all before my time so I don't have any details to share.
