For those of you who don't have it I am attaching it at the end of the message. I'd say the GN did a good job with the blocking on this train, especially considering the number of blocks. A summary of the blocking follows:
From rear of train:
Willmar block (two cars); plucked from rear of train by yard crew at Willmar
Soo Line—Minneapolis block (11 cars)
CNW—Minneapolis block (most of the train; 48 cars)
Union Yard (Mpls.) and Minnesota Transfer (13 cars total; includes CGW and RI cars both blocked in main block)
CBQ—Galesburg (13 cars)
CBQ—Dayton's Bluff (two cars; one E. Winona & one Minn. Tfr.)
CBQ—Chicago (nine cars)
TOFC & Mpls. Local (8 cars; TOFC to St. Paul?))
Lyndale Jct. block (14 cars including 3 CNW and 9 MNS; all in blocks)
Total around 14 blocks, counting the sub blocks!
The Lyndale Junction cars were set out there and the rest of the train went to Union Yard.
I assume that Train 82 was yarded at Gavin Yard in Minot as that was GN's main yard on the east end of the railroad; this was a hump yard compared with the flat yards in Willmar and Minneapolis. Blocking is always a compromise as the typical yard doesn't have the tracks, yard jobs, or time to produce a train that's "perfectly" blocked; especially for blocks going to connecting roads (why do the other railroad's work for them?).
