Northern Pacific Railroad Shops at Brainerd in 2023
The Northern Pacific Railroad Shops in Brainerd, Minnesota are a good example of how old brick buildings can be converted into useable business space today. Although only a handful of the original railroad shop buildings at Brainerd still remain in 2023, most of them are being converted for other uses. Throughout the years, the Brainerd Railroad Shops employed thousands of people inside their rare architectural structures. It is important that some of these places are preserved for their historical significance and their link to many families today. It is easy to walk around the complex and view the buildings today, as several paths have been made. View the grounds as they exist in 2023, and see a few flashbacks to the past.

Trucks are better for most things except bulk like ore or massive quantities of chemicals like butadiene or ammonia... Even cars are being just thrown on a trailer instead of those vehicle transport cars that used to be like heaven to tramps that would ride across the country sitting in the front seat of a new car...
