CNW in slow motion         
This is possibly the slowest freight train I ever watched, and I believe the speed limit on this line at the time was 5 mph from Cannon Falls to Randolph. The tracks have been improved since these days, but not sure how business is. This is an ex-CGW branchline.

John Schumann General I ran on this line when I was with the CNW. I can attest to the truly miserable track conditions. 10 mph was high-speed on this line. 7/14/2016 5:09:53 PM
