The Badger arrives at Brook Park to let off a couple passengers on its run from St. Paul (via Minneapolis) to Superior, WI. The GN sky blue Geep, one of two equipped for passenger service has been renumbered ton BN, but has kept its GN logo and lettering 3 months into the merger. The train will survive another 11 months before Amtrak takes over and drops it. Passengers for Duluth will have to ride a bus from Superior at this point. The RPO is not functional, carrying only baggage. The blue coach is x-CNW, the fluted one, either x-Frisco or Katy. June, 1970

Brook Park, OH - October 2018

Big train at Brook Park by steve55126 Via Flickr: When you think of Amtrak's Arrowhead train to Duluth, most assume it was just a little three or four car train. But after the schedule was swapped with a morning departure from Minneapolis in early 1977, business boomed with Twin Citians heading north for a day visit to Duluth. Looking more like the California Zephyr than the Duluth train, the Arrowhead heads northbound at Brook Park on May 21, 1977. Check it out - four dome cars!

Except for the numbers that give away BN ownership, this could be a typical Great Northern scene at Brook Park, MN. BN is three months old, but they have already re-numbered the blue Geep and SD9. The morning Badger from St. Paul to Superior, WI (Bus into Duluth) is stopped to load/unload a handful of passengers as the Brook Park crew looks on. The St. Cloud based turn made weekday trips to meet overnight freights between Superior and Minneapolis and handle local business on the line. BN will continue passenger service for 11 more months, and the Badger Gopher service will not make it into Amtrak, although for a while there will be the Arrowhead offering one round trip a day. June, 1970

On a gray Memorial Day weekend in northeastern Minnesota, the St. Paul-Superior, WI Badger accelerates out of Brook Park as a couple of ladies who just detrained, head towards their ride home. The engineer of the Brook Park Turn sits at the controls in BN 6117, former Great Northern SD9 no. 590, and keeps an eye on the activity. After finishing connecting work with a Minneapolis-Duluth/Superior freight, the turn will head west back to St. Cloud, MN. BN operated passenger service for just 14 months before joining Amtrak. May, 1970

Cavaliers CEO: People should "make sure" to "celebrate" when we ask for $400M

This website has written many times about the poor people of Cleveland. To summarize briefly, when Cleveland voters passed a bill in 1990 that increased a local sin tax, the revenues from this tax hike were supposed to pay for upgrades needed at the Cleveland Guardians and Cleveland Cavaliers venues. It hasn’t. Instead, the teams ask every year for millions of dollars that the city doesn’t have…
