A piece of Waite Park's past has finally returned home. A 75-year-old boxcar built in Waite Park in 1941 and rebuilt in 1961 will be placed along Third Street North where it's journey began.
This week in our "Behind the Scenes" series on WJON, we climb aboard the Great Northern Railway and see how the railroad shaped the city of Waite Park.
Railroad documents released by the state Department of Public Safety show about 50 trains carrying crude oil from North Dakota are passing through Minnesota each week.
More than a year after severe flooding in the Duluth area halted tours of a popular scenic railroad, the train is once again chugging along its tracks.
The STARail group, responsible for bringing an old Great Northern Railway Caboose back to Waite Park, wants some space at City Hall to display a model train and a vision for enhancing the project.
