It has been said that "a picture is worth a thousand words" so here's what a local photography club had to say and show about their experience at the final Night Trains session of the 2010 – 2011 season. However, if you haven't experienced Night Trains you will have to wait until November 26, 2011 when another season of Night Trains begins.
During the 64 years that the Great Northern Station stood at the foot of the Hennepin Avenue bridge, it was one of six passenger depots which once operated simultaneously in downtown Minneapolis, and at its peak, 125 trains used it each day.
It has been said that it’s impossible to be a member of the Twin City Model Railroad Museum without knowing Ray Norton, a fixture almost from the beginning. Ray can tell you about building the bleachers when the railroad club was in the St. Paul Union Depot for those many years.
