Good winter shot of all those boats covered at King's Cove Marina. This location was Hastings on the Q.(see Marty Benard shot of Hastings Depot there). That spur was only accessible going East. So trains such as Dayton's Bluff-North LaCrosse wayfreight can use crossover in St Croix plant or come against the currrent all the way from Newport. Same was true if head end stock car was to be setout at Werthheimer pens in St.Paul Park. Now it's a moot point.All CTC no cars for Hastings,stock pens long gone. You can see where the center siding was here. St.Croix armstrong rods on this end.electric CTC down at Burns end. Flood of 65 did this in. Like the shot. Well done.
