| The west end of the Loram special run by the 261 group faces the venerable bridge over the old Milwaukee Road/Minneapolis & St. Louis corridor. The cranes working on the removal of a bridge on the old Louie, long since a trail, testify to the massive changes in store with the coming of the co-location of freight rail with the Southwest LRT. In fact, the old Milwaukee at left will be replaced by the LRT at the spot, so this vista is a snapshot of not only what is to come but also what was. |
