Ah, you mean the siding, not the classic bridge shot? I'm assuming
that's looking (railway) west, about here:
https://goo.gl/maps/GrAi7o9GDzk. I've driven that road hundreds of
times, and didn't make the connection. Although driving there usually
takes 100% of my attention, not looking at the railway.
Yes, I agree a station sign. Brain fart!

That is Train #1 at Ottertail, looking down from the Trans-Canada Highway. What you called a mileboard is actually the station name sign, aligned parallel with the tracks. Ottertail is the first siding west of Field, beyond the crossing of the Ottertail River.
