<p>[quote user="Boyd"]I might have the record. Out the window behind the computer is the Minnesota Zephyr line. I could throw a rock from my truck and hit the track. If the trees were not in the way I could throw a rock from the back door and hit the tracks. Zepyr line has been for sale for over a year as the owner wants to sell and retire. Line is isolated due to not maintaining BN owned link to UP line in Bayport and the greedy city of Stillwater forcing abandonment. 1/2 mile south of me is old trolly roadbed. Wisconsin Central line is about 5 miles north of me. UP line is about 5 miles south.[/quote]</p><p>Boyd:</p><p>What's condition of the old NP ROW starting at the end of the Zephyr's trackage? Has that been trailized? Where does the Zephyr line end (meaning is there a convenient road/street nearby)? The reason I ask is I've been thinking of doing some hiking/RR "archeology" on that line, but I don't know the back-roads out that way real well.</p>
