Midwest Trip

Unread post by Ypsi »

spent all last week driving up into the UP then to the St. Paul area. Saw some trains in Wayzeta and then West Chicago.

In Daluth I saw the North Shore Senic leaving town


Then the next videos are from Wayzeta

First was a Coal train with a MAC and a ACe


then A BNSF with great Power


last train I got a video of was an unexpected inspection train


Then on to West Chicago
started with a NB CN


EB Metra


EB UP


UP ace leads a short EB


WB stacker


WB Metra


EB auto rack


one more UP train


after driving all day we meet the Amtrak 355 at home, unexpected but nice


good trip saw some cool trains and have some pictures that I might get in the gallery as well.
