[TwinCityRails] Eastbound "Bare Table" At Wayzata
You got the engines right. It was train B PTLCHI5 18A. There has been 2 or 3
baretables a week on the Wayzata Subdv. lately. Another windmill train is
coming tomorrow morning too.

My pictures

I did see two cars with windmill parts in the T yard at Northtown on Tuesday 12/20

Well we had two big blades at humboldt i looked it up and it seems it was bad ordered in st. paul so it couldnt go with the rest of train.. is that what u saw? went on the way freight today i think.

There is a good chance they where blades, why would they be on the BN if they came from St. Paul? Strange.

They were blades...i talked to the yardmaster about it. They BN brings them to us... we take them the rest of the way to canada The BN transfer job probably brought them over yesterday.

Makes sense thanks for the info.

When will the windmill train depart? I have not gotten a chance to see one yet.
