The American Queen

The Upper Mississippi - October 2007

Another Fine Sunrise - Near Red Wing, Minnesota

Red Wing, Minnesota

We arrived in Red Wing at about 10 a.m. Because Red Wing does not have an adequate dock for a large vessel, the American Queen docked near a nice park outside of town.

An excursion train, from LaCrosse to Red Wing, passed the park while we were there. Since the train engine was a rare steam locomotive, I took a few pictures.
