The
Saint Paul Union Depot article could use an image from when trains were running up until 1971, or at least a better shot of the concourse leading out to the tracks.
Active railroads and subsidiaries
Many of these don't have any images. New or updated route maps would also be helpful.
More iconic photo for Amtrak (possibly in the mountainous west or along the Mississippi River near
Lake City, Minnesota)
A better view of the train back in the
Great Northern era that shows locomotives. A tail-end view of the train might also be nice if it was running with an observation car.
Images showing the evolution of the locomotives from slant-nose to bull-nose would be nice. A side-on view showing the articulation in early trains would also be excellent.
The train was orange, so color photos would be desired.
Good shots with streamlined locomotives in front, both steam and diesel would be good.
Images showing the evolution of the observation cars into skytop lounge would be excellent (there is a beavertail image, but others would also be good).
Amtrak also ran a train they called the Twin Cities Hiawatha, which may also be interesting.
List of Metro Transit routes – Popular bus routes could use images. Photos taken at signature locations along the routes (e.g., the 16 at the U of M or state capitol, the 84 in Highland Park or at Rosedale, the 5 at the Midtown Exchange transit center, etc.) would be best.
Since these mostly only appear as thumbnails (though they should be zoomable), files can be relatively small (1 to 4 megapixels would probably be appropriate)
