    OK, first hint: Class I railroad.

    That should really put some spark into finding this place. LOL

    BNSF by the looks of the parked power. But where?

    I've been scouring the last two nights. Something tells me I should know this one offhand.

    'Spark'? CPR doesn't have an electrified zone, does it? Could it be BCR?

    BCR is gone. Leased to CN in 2004. The Tumbler Ridge electrification is long gone, cut off over ten years ago. And unless something changed, that branch line was abandoned c.2003.

    Sorry, there's not any Magic to the "spark" comment, other than I thought, when the roadname was figured out it would be a lot easier.
    Hint: Nearly 40% of the City's residents has Scandinavian roots.

    'Magic", huh? I should have known this location! I lived in the Magic City for 3 1/2 winters. Minot, ND. This is the old Soo Line diesel house on the south side of town.

    Speaking of Scandinavian roots, the Norsk Høstfest is a big Scandinavian festival featuring Norwegian Tacos, Lefse (yummy with butter and cinnamon/sugar) , Lutefisk and other culinary delights.

    Congrats HemiAdda2d it sure is. That ended up being a little too easy LOL.

    I just had to mention the Scandinavian thing since I'm from DK.

    I still have some locations up my sleeve for other contests, but I think it's another one's turn.

    Soon as I get off work, I'll see what I can come up with. I just found a few new spots, and they're really easy to find.




    Yeah, right.............. ;)
