The Milwaukee Road had trackage rights on BN/NP for many years, and ran 1 to 2 trains each way, per day to Duluth. Crews were known to speed on this line quite often, and I personally followed trains going 10-20 mph over the 50 mph limit. This may be the result of speeding, as this southbound train derailed at the north siding switch at Rush City, and has made quite a mess. The big hooks have come from both ends to clean it up. |
