Do any engineers or conductors make runs on this line quite often? I'm a college student living in Winona right by the tracks and a railfan. Just curious, I heard a rumor that CPR was talking about running over 50+ trains through here a day?

Do I smell a NIMBY?actually no. don't be so quick to judge. I made the screen name "enjoythesilence" because it's a song from Depeche Mode. I actually am a railfan, not a extreme one, I don't go watching and take pictures and all that garbage. I was asking because whenever they do come through town they always cause major traffic jams. I had an apprenticeship program with BNSF when i was in high school working in the yard with a trainmaster. Decided against the railroad and am half a semester away from being a certified automotive tech.
