[/quote]Okay, where is the "St. Paul" location? Merriam Park sub like the route Amtrak takes?[quote]

The St. Paul location is just east of the Union Depot. I suspect Merriam park or they would have to back up from that location. They can actualy take either the Midway or St. Paul sub once they passs the Amtrak Depot and come through the MNN yard.

Just seen it in wabasha tonight cp 9824 leading awesome train

Since I am still working on my st. paul and midway sub locations, could someone please help me out with where the Union Depot is (street wise, so I can drive there)?
thanks crew

DCH, if I remember, you live in NE Mpls, correct? If that's the case, it would certainly be easier for you to catch it at Shoreham by CP University.

that is definitely correct, but do you guys think there is time to catch it in both St. Paul and Shoreham?

The red star is Broadway, just across Kellog Blvd is a parking area. The train will be between 53 and sibley just about where you see teh words Warner Road. Go to the upper park of the ramp.
