The Red Wing depot is located along the Canadian Pacific's River Subdivision. Here you can see trains from Canadian Pacific, Burlington Northern Santa Fe, and Iowa Chicago and Eastern (about 1-2 an hour). It is also a stop on Amtrak's Empire Builder route.
On both sides of the depot are major grain elevators. Here you can see hopper switching, staging and loading.
Across from the depot is Levee Park. It is a great place to sit in the shade at the picnic tables and watch the action. I love coming here!
