Great location and angle Lester. There is a lot to absorb in this image. The variety of power, the old SOO caboose, the TC&W freight, and just the interesting track layout. Thanks for sharing.

The tower on the left is the "old hump tower", now empty. the far tower at the hump is the hump tower were the operator sits, the tower on the right is the old yard office. this office was alot bigger until a BN train ran away on the hill in St. Paul in the late '90's and crashed into the yard office. the tower was all that survived, it is still used.

From the looks of this place, Pig's Eye still had a lot to do. I am looking for my old Trains Magazine with the article called Cow and Calf in Pig's eye.
