Not exactly TCR coverage area but I doubt there will be any complaints...

As seen in Outstate Minnesota Rail (OMR):

Here are the pictures and video from my impromptu trip home on Tuesday.

CSXT 8418 under the old SOO Line Bridge between Gregory and Rice:

Coal empties led by BNSF 9636 at the second or third public crossing east of Gregory:

Crossing gate, if you look closely the remaining sunlight is trying to glint of the gate assembly and sign.

And finally onto the video. Enjoy.

Thanks John. That sure is a fun area to railfan the traffic seems to get backed up around Little Falls quite a bit.

That was fun, thanks for posting! That CSX lead coal empty was some re-reroute as it came up the St. Croix sub from LaCrosse and points east. E-CCABTM was the symbol used by the Northtown switch tender. That horn on the CSX was pretty sick, sounded like some kind of animal or something.

John, that video is awesome. Always nice to catch a good string like that. I like those new logo coal gons. I don't think they make it down to the Cities that often. They stop at Becker?

KAW :wink:
