Not a bad photo for a disposable camera.
The Great Northern Depot in Fergus Falls, Minnesota was build in 1897 and is still in daily use by the Otter Tail Valley Railroad (OTVR) as its Administrative offices. The 75 miles of track operated by the OTVR was once a part of the Great Northern Railway's main line between St. Cloud and Fargo/Moorhead. This short line was formed in 1986 and later purchased by RailAmerica Inc. in 1996. The road handles approximately 9,000 carloads annually, mostly Grain, Coal and Agricultural Chemicals. All traffic is interchanged with BNSF at Dillworth Yard, East of Moorhead, Minnesota. The company owns four 1750 Horsepower Diesel Locomotives and operates on Radio Frequency 160.425
Thanks to my wife, for taking time out of her vacation to take these pictures.
