Another photograph from a baseball game between the Minnesota Twins and the Los Angeles Angels last summer in Minneapolis. A Twins player has just made a hit and you can see the ball sailing into the outfield.

But Google told me it was here!!!



The abandoned former Amtrak Midway station in St. Paul, Minnesota. When we were there back in June, 2018 google maps was still showing this as an active Amtrak station even though it had been closed for a while (it is no longer showing on google maps). As it turned out it was only a short distance from our wonderful AirBnB that we stayed at. There is also an interesting model railroad museum just to the south of this old station. It looks like either this building started deteriorating fast or Amtrak had not been taking care of it for some time.

Meet up at the baseball stadium



Two Metro light rail trains meet alongside the baseball stadium of the Minnesota Twins in Minneapolis. Currently both of Metro's light rail's terminate here but there is plans to extended both light rail routes beyond the stadium. The train in the right is about to depart for the Mall of America and the train on the left has just arrived from St. Paul.
