? Last BN train out of Stillwater, Minnesota????

[Boyd]

I talked to the engineer who took the last BN train out of Stillwater. He lives just down the road from me. But he has no memory of what year it was. Anyone know?

BN abandoned the 12 miles from Stillwater to White Bear Lake during 1982, and donated 6 of those miles to the MTM for the Stillwater and St. Paul tourist line during 1984.
