You would not happen to work with a guy by the name of Justin Quade by chance would you? and tell whoever is driving that thing to lay off the horn. Saturday morning I was sitting in my tree stand for opener at 5:30 am (sleeping) and they blew the horn , almost fell out.Hey I go by there in the train all the time! Hope we have a good winter and maybe a few good unofficial TY meets there.

Just saw this post, looks like a pretty sweet spot and I know right where you're at! I live west Metro (Watertown) and will have to get up that way sometime... hopefully via sled!

Justin is in the RoHo? Then yes, we chat whenever I'm down there and he's working.
The horn thing.... We can thank the public for all the noise. Its amazing how many people don't hear or see the trains on a daily basis!

That is what we call natural selection if you cannot see hear and feel a 300 ton train what else are you missing. Justin is I think by now an engineer lives somewhere just south of DuluthJustin is in the RoHo? Then yes, we chat whenever I'm down there and he's working.

Tac trains, 180 loaded cars and 3 engines... It's basically a rolling chunk of solid steel. I've personally been on 28k Tac trains. Coal trains are usually 17-18,000 tons.

Why central MN??? that place get snow like once every ten years!!! I know my lake home is near Lake Mille Lacs and it's been 4 years since I put a mile on in central MN... fingers crossed for both of us!!!
Just looked up the address... that's just down the street from me... live in Maple Grove but have a shop in Nowthen... I'll definitely ride over if we ever get rideable snow!!!

I just left the UP tonight. Rode from Wakefield, solid trails, FRESH groomed and I only saw 20 or so total sleds. Wish I could have stayed another day!
