| Dennis DeBruler commented on Marty's post This 1885 building was the first one built for the passenger car shops. The railroad operated the car shop until 1982. I think these photos were taken during that year as a historical record before the buildings were remodeled. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Marty's post These two buildings were also part of the car shop. I see that they preserved the transfer table that used to run between the two buildings. |

Marty Bernard shared David Edman: I’m going to bet the 1982 date on the Como shop pics is accurate. Look closely at an enlarged version on the last picture and see BN logos adorning the building. |

| Trains Magazine posted We’re on location in St Paul, MN at the former Northern Pacific’s Como Shops, now repurposed as the thriving Bandana Square. Lots of railroad history here. Did I mention there’s a Best Western Plus where you can book a hotel night in the old railroad shops? -Kevin Robert Renz: As I recall, that's not a coaling tower, but the shop's old ash bin from the old boiler house. [In the comments is a controversy about whether or not this tower was moved here.] |
