Skunk switching Hollow wye(desvio/aguja ferroviaro) Explanation: TranSystems believes the elimination of the Skunk Hollow switching wye will be advantageous to the Saint Louis Park community. A direct southbound connection to the MN&S Spur will eliminate the switching which is necessary to send railcars that way today and which blocks roadways in the process. Whereas, the City of Minneapolis reiterated its position on re-routing freight rail in comments responding to the 2012 Draft Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) ... Whereas, the TranSystems solution means there will no longer be any freight switching, sorting, or blocking operations within St Louis Park City limits, including the elimination of the Skunk Hollow wye and storage track east of Trunk Highway 100, and..... The study recommended improvements to the Minneapolis, Northfield & Southern (MN&S Spur) line through St. Louis Park, including new connections to the east-west routes of BNSF’s Wayzata Subdivision and Canadian Pacific’s (CP) Bass Lake Spur (over which TC&W operates), elimination of the Skunk Hollow switching wye, an upgrade of the line and mitigation methods to improve safety and minimize impacts to neighborhoods,....

| Reference: Findings only Reference information: One of St. Louis Park's conditions for accepting a re-route plan is removal of the "switching wye", (Illustrated in gold on this map) The switching wye is a holdover from previous railroad operations in the "skunk hollow" portion of St. Louis Park. The purpose of the wye is to make it possible for trains to change to/from an east/west direction on the Bass Lake Spur to/from a north/south direction on the MN&S. It is a substitute for a more efficient ramp (like a freeway interconnect) that could do the same thing much more easily. http://www.safetyinthepark.com/dig-deeper.html |
