DAKOTA, Minn. — An out-of-town traveler turned his van too tight into a vacation rental property and hung up on the Canadian Pacific’s mainline tracks. Winona County deputies called the railroad to halt freight trains both directions. A tow truck rushed 24 miles from Goodview and pulled the van off the tracks. Deputies said the van driver was of good mind and not impaired. The four Amtrak passenger trains that use the CP mainline already had passed through Dakota for the day.
