A current view of the old Soo Line passenger depot at Thief River Falls, Minnesota. The station, built in 1913, has been remodeled and is the Thief River Falls City Hall today. |
The roundhouse was tricky to find because they have remodeled it. This is the first time I have seen that much money spent on a roundhouse.
This grain elevator is so big that I can't fit it into one street view.
It appears to be rail served by CPKC because it not only has a fall protector, but it also has its own locomotive parked in the loading shed.
In fact, I caught the locomotive out in the wild.
And some hoppers being loaded.
And the CPKC railyard that is just north of the town has a lot of hopper cars. It looks like it also has some empty coal cars.
The bins to the side were built in 2021.
The town also has an old elevator with wood, bolted-steel and rectangular storage bins.
A view of the wood end of that elevator.
This topo map accurately marks the location of the depot and taught me to look for the roundhouse.
