Appearance
This is a list of articles where images (or more appropriate ones) would be really great to have:
Rail transportation
[edit]Stations
[edit]Track diagrams would also be great for stations
- Minneapolis Great Northern Depot
- The Saint Paul Union Depot article could use an image from when trains were running up until 1971, or at least a better shot of the concourse leading out to the tracks.
Active railroads and subsidiaries
[edit]Many of these don't have any images. New or updated route maps would also be helpful.
- Airlake Terminal Railway
- Cedar River Railroad
- Cloquet Terminal Railroad
- Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway
- Duluth, Winnipeg and Pacific Railway
- Iowa Interstate Railroad – has a shot, but it's at a poor angle looking up at a bridge
- Minnesota Commercial Railway – has a shot, but it's an obstructed view
- Minnesota, Dakota and Western Railway
- Minnesota Northern Railroad
- Minnesota Prairie Line, Inc.
- Minnesota Southern Railway
- Northern Lines Railway
- Northern Plains Railroad
- Otter Tail Valley Railroad
- Red River Valley and Western Railroad
- Soo Line Railroad – has an image, but at a poor angle (and with a fairly dirty locomotive)
Defunct railroads and interurbans/streetcars
[edit]- Electric Short Line Railway – "Luce Line"
- Minneapolis, Anoka & Cuyuna Range Railroad and related companies
- Minneapolis, Lyndale and Lake Calhoun Railway – "Motor Line"
- St. Paul & Pacific Railroad – earliest predecessor to Great Northern, started operation in 1862
- Winona and St. Peter Railroad – also started operation in 1862
Bridges
[edit]- Stone Arch Bridge back when it was carrying trains.
- Northern Pacific Bridge Number 9 from when it carried train traffic
Named trains
[edit]- Better shots of the Empire Builder:
- More iconic photo for Amtrak (possibly in the mountainous west or along the Mississippi River near Lake City, Minnesota)
- A better view of the train back in the Great Northern era that shows locomotives. A tail-end view of the train might also be nice if it was running with an observation car.
- Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad's Twin Cities Zephyr:
- Images showing the evolution of the locomotives from slant-nose to bull-nose would be nice. A side-on view showing the articulation in early trains would also be excellent.
- Milwaukee Road's Twin Cities Hiawatha (aka Hiawatha, Morning Hiawatha, Afternoon Hiawatha):
- The train was orange, so color photos would be desired.
- Good shots with streamlined locomotives in front, both steam and diesel would be good.
- Images showing the evolution of the observation cars into skytop lounge would be excellent (there is a beavertail image, but others would also be good).
- Amtrak also ran a train they called the Twin Cities Hiawatha, which may also be interesting.
- Chicago and North Western Railway's Twin Cities 400
- A shot of the early heavyweight steam version of the train would be good.
- A shot of a drumhead from the steam train era with "The “400”" printed on it.
- A shot of a streamlined diesel train somewhere, particularly with the locomotives included. Color would be desired, since it was yellow and green.
Road transportation
[edit]Bus providers
[edit]- Metro Transit – We need a picture of the "BRT" livery (yellow front, yellow/blue swooshes on side)
- U of M Campus Shuttle
- Minnesota Valley Transit Authority
- SouthWest Transit
- Plymouth Metrolink
- Maple Grove Transit
- Scott County Transit
- Metro Mobility
Routes/stations/transitways
[edit]- List of Metro Transit routes – Popular bus routes could use images. Photos taken at signature locations along the routes (e.g., the 16 at the U of M or state capitol, the 84 in Highland Park or at Rosedale, the 5 at the Midtown Exchange transit center, etc.) would be best.
- Since these mostly only appear as thumbnails (though they should be zoomable), files can be relatively small (1 to 4 megapixels would probably be appropriate)
- U of M Transitway
- I-35W Bus Rapid Transitway
- Particularly 46th Street/Kingfield station
