Northtown and Pigs Eye Yard 1988

In the summer of 1988 I got my first video camera, a Sony Video 8. This video was the first time I had ever used the camera. These first videos I hand held the camera, and back then there was not stabilization in the cameras. I did end up getting a tripod, which not only made the videos more stable, it allowed me to also take photos at the same time.
This first short clip is of BN's Northtown yard in Minneapolis and the CNW and SOO at Hoffman Ave. area in St. Paul

Milwaukee Road GP. 40s looking great. I was promoted to Engineer in early 1997. Worked in pigseye from 94 to 98.

Classic footage, especially the Milw Rd MP15, still in Milw Rd paint. Minus the herald. It reminded me of the footage Rob Rivard captured around this time, he snagged 467 working the Garden Job in the Hiawatha Elevator District. The shots of Northtown is reminiscent of my childhood. We used to go up on the overpass all the time, it was great, before they put the chain link up. Keep the quality videos coming. I’ll be sure to stay tuned in for more uploads.
