MILW served Rahr Malting in Shakopee along with the C&NW. MILW's "Hastings & Dakota" branch to Shakopee was abandoned sometime in the 1970s but they kept their rights to serve Rahr via C&NW. The used the C&NW's former M&StL "Louie" mainline from Mpls to Merriam Jct, then doubled back east to Rahr via the C&NW's former CMO "Omaha" line. The train is shown on the connecting track between the "Louie" and the "Omaha".
