St. Paul is the river port and the rail side of the Twin Cities. Barges load at the Port Authority's terminals, containers go onto rail at Midway, the racks in West St. Paul and South St. Paul fill the tankers, and after general freight the cargo its carriers declare most is passengers. Three in four of the carriers based here stay inside Minnesota.
A St. Paul yard holds a bus, a day cab draying boxes off the Midway ramp, a tanker, a garbage truck, a moving van, a reefer on a grocery run, a flatbed with lumber, and a semi truck with a sleeper that works the lanes east and west.
Any deputy registrar
Minnesota replaces a lost title through Driver and Vehicle Services, and any deputy registrar office in the city takes the application and the title transfer. Liens and the prior-salvage brand are described on the Minnesota page.
Winter is what a St. Paul truck answers for: frame rails, crossmembers, brake lines and cab corners before the odometer. Photograph those first, then the cab and the engine, and tell us the route it ran.
Sixteen posted bridges on the bluffs
Minnesota's winter increase and spring postings, set out on the Minnesota page around the federal 80,000-pound gross, reach St. Paul's own list of 204 bridges, sixteen posted for load and five below fourteen feet, a hilly city's share. A garbage truck on the bluffs reads more signs than a tanker on the flats.
Tell us where the truck is in St. Paul, by the port on the river, up at Midway or out on Dayton's Bluff, and send photos and the title.
