The Watertown Express and the 'Hog and Human': Passenger Service In

The WATERTOWN EXPRESS and the "Hog and Human": M & StL Passenger Service in South Dakota 1884-1960 DONOVAN L. HOFSOMMER In mid-July of 1960 editors of the Minneapolis Tribune found much on the regional scene that they judged to be newsworthy: Minnesotans were heavily engaged in political debate anticipating the general elections of the coming fall; the Hill Lines were rebuffed in their attempts to consummate a huge railroad merger: the speeding AFTERNOON HIAWATHA was derailed near Saint Paul, resulting in injury to several persons; Minneapolitans were enjoying the annual Aquatennial Celebration; and it was hot. One important event was overlooked by the Minneapolis journalists, however. On 21 July passenger service by the Minneapolis & Saint Louis Railway between Minneapolis and Watertown, South Dakota, ended forever. At 10:30 P. M. on 20 July train number thirteen quietly slipped out of the trainsheds at the Great Northern depot in Minneapolis for the last time; its counterpart number fourteen had made its final departure from Watertown an hour and one-half earlier. Without hoopla and almost without notice, a seventy-six year tradition of service ended when these two trains reached their respective terminals in the misty morning hours of 21 July.' 1.

Product Guide
2017 PRODUCT GUIDE *Layout and photo by Doug Nelson. Experience & Quality You Can Depend On Dear Model Railroader: Welcome to our 2017 Micro-Trains Product Guide. 2017 is special year for Micro-Trains as we’ll be recognizing our 45th Anniversary of manufacturing N scale rolling stock, Magne-Matic® couplers, trucks and various accessories right here in Southern Oregon, USA! In this guide you’ll find a representative sampling of the more than 160 styles of N and Z scale rolling stock and Welcome locomotives; more than any other model train manufacturer, which we offer to Model Railroaders and Enthusiasts around the world! During 2017, we plan to design, tool and manufacture four all-new body styles. The first will be the long-awaited Gunderson 70’ Husky Stack Well Car. We’ll be expanding our line of Heavyweight Passenger cars with the introduction of the Single Window Coach. You will also see a new 50’ box car released and an all-new Z scale Business Car to compliment our line of Lightweight Passenger cars. Also new to our product line is the N scale True-Scale Coupler, which is an accurate scale size body-mount coupler that provides proper scale-distance between cars and no slinky effect during operation. In addition we plan to release metal wheel sets in early 2017! These wheel sets will be manufactured to NMRA RP25 standards, detailed on both sides of the wheel and will include pre- assembled plastic axles for scale appearance and easy conversions. The wheels will also be chemically blackened and designed to fit all MTL trucks. -
