Work crews replacing ties, rails, rock; repairing crossings
Union Pacific Railroad work crews have been in the Watonwan, Cottonwood and Jackson County area for several weeks making improvements on tracks laid across the southwestern Minnesota prairie and beyond.
Workers have been replacing ties and rails, adding fresh rock and repairing crossings both in cities and the rural area, heading west following the Minnesota State Highway #60 corridor.
Union Pacific trains run through 7,300 communities as they serve the western two-thirds of the United States; something they have done for the past 150 years.
Below are some photographs of the crews working on the rail between Mountain Lake and Bingham Lake:
