A similar photo is captioned: "On April 11, 1983, the spring inspection business car train passed through St James, [MN] with F7A No. 400 in the lead, a second F7, and three business cars. Each spring and fall, the president [of the C&NW], senior vice-president-operations, and vice president-transportation would each tour a portion of the railroad with division and engineering staff. One of the primary purposes of the inspection trips was to view the physical plant and establish priorities for maintenance and capital spending."
