Pioneer Press, April 1, 2014 wrote:Canadian Pacific Railway has proposed a major expansion of its receiving yard to the north and east of Pig's Eye Lake in St. Paul, with the ultimate goal of accommodating 10,000-foot trains by mid-2015.Pretty sure this isn't an April Fools joke either - CP Rail is quite constrained with train sizes through the Cities, even before the oil from North Dakota and Saskatchewan.
The project, which is sure to raise eyebrows with neighbors and naturalists, would fill in 6 acres of wetlands along the northern and eastern shoreland areas of the lake.
