Hey guys...

I work in Woodbury about 10 minutes from the Dayton's Bluff area and went for a little drive at lunch today. I caught this:

I checked the other TCWR posts on RP.net and it looks like these are GP30C's... Is that right? TCRW's website says they have 7 GP20C's, 2 GP15C's and a CF7.

Thanks!
Chris

Thanks xrayguy... That was the first time I've seen them. I was going to comment on the fact that they were cleaner than my Jeep!! I like the color scheme. I wonder how often they wash them to keep them that clean?

Also, it says they run in the Savage area on their website (River Access section), which is where I live though I've never seen them. I'd love to find somewhere around here to looo for them. All I've seen around here are some UP, CP and some grain switchers.

Hopefully I didn't spook anyone pulling to the side of the road to take that one...

Chris

They have as small yard located in Hopkins, you can catch them there and it is my understanding that from that area they do head south and cross the river into Savage. I've never tried to find out where, but maybe someone else could provide more specific directions.

They use trackage rights from the CP, the line runs south to Savage than on to Northfield from St. Louis Park. For those of us that have chased the BNSF west of the cities you go under this just west of the Xenia ave exit on 394.
