Roaring 40s In The Twin Cities -With a rare CF7!-

[@andydickson5400]

Nice video, I always liked the SD40's...

[@SD457500]

Thank you very much! Me too, and UPs rebuilds are by far my favorite. They look and sound exactly the same, but have all sorts of internal upgrades, AND PTC.

GREAT VIDEO THX FOR POSTING.😊😊👍👍

[@SD457500]

Glad you liked it, and thanks for watching!

[@1208bug]

Cool stuff!

[@SD457500]

Thanks for watching; glad you enjoyed it!

[@seabass425]

I was at the museum a few months back, the CF7 is supposedly bound for Cleburne where it was originally rebuilt to be put on display.

[@IowaGrandpaTrain]

I heard the same thing from the MTM staff.

[@SD457500]

After doing some more digging, I heard the same thing. It is *supposed* to be repainted in Santa Fe colors as part of the display.

Awesome ❤👌👏👍

[@bpeterfeso]

[@SD457500]

Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for watching!

Awesome video

[@SD457500]

Glad you enjoyed it! Its so nice to see 40s still roaming around the Twin Cities in regular service.

This train just doesn’t get old to me. But just need them to run late enough on a sunny day!

[@SD457500]

I agree with that; especially come summer. I recall in 2017, this ran as the Y-SPMP and would go to SSP to East Mpls and back. It would go OD around 3:30 PM, and had PERFECT light all the way to East Mpls.

I have no doubt that 2024 will bring me pretty neat things from your videos my Douglas! ;) As this one for instance. Very nice video and I like the ''new UP logo'' on the flank of unit 1990... I'm kidding :P Seriously, lets keep up with your good videos my friend! :) from Canada

[@SD457500]

Fingers crossed, and hoping that 2024 is one of my best years yet! That new logo needs some UP paint to clean it up. :p I appreciate the kind words, and always like seeing your comments. Thanks for watching!

[@BNSF1458]

Great work! Awesome drone views This video has me wanting to see the YSPBN now... how often do they run?

[@millennialtrainman3443]

Everyday. Usually in the late morning hours.

[@SD457500]

Thank you for the kind words! This trains everyday of the week, and *usually* gets out of South Saint Paul/Belt Yard between 8:30am to 11:30am these days. I realize its a broad time span, but it seems to hinge on traffic, and their tonnage. One day they were over Robert St by 0900, another day it was 11:30.

[@Minnesota_Rails]

Cool! What are some busy ST Paul areas to railfan . If I ever go there I wanna know where to railfan. And the busiest areas

[@ekslycooper123]

A fairly busy area is Union Depot in St.Paul. There is a bridge that goes over the tracks that gives a good view

[@Minnesota_Rails]

@@ekslycooper123 alright thanks ! Any bridges go over Northtown yard? If so what are they street names

[@kkoch666]

St. Anthony Parkway and 44th ave.

[@SD457500]

The road bridge off of Kellogg offers a prime watching spot, and you can park at Union Depot. One can also park near Saint Paul Yard to see all of the traffic coming and going. Get TrainMon5; its real time ATCS and will be your friend. Thanks for watching!

[@Minnesota_Rails]

@@SD457500 where can I find trainmon5

[@gailmckenzie8291]

💚😊😊

[@CharlieH65]

Not bad for mustard motive power.😂

[@SD457500]

That's a new one for me, mustard motive power! Now if only the 1990 had the graffiti cleaned up!

[@fasteddiesgarage5000]

More ore ships

[@SD457500]

More are in the works! :D

[@cncpgreatlakesdiv4896]

TO BAD IT GOT TAGED.🤬🤬🤬

[@SD457500]

Agreed! Its fairly new and recent, something one doesn't usually see up in MN. It'd be nice if they cleaned it up.

[@AnontheGOAT]

UP 1990 needs some TLC in getting rid of that hideous graffiti.

[@SD457500]

That is does; it would look so much better if it wasn't tagged!

[@rickdee67]

Excellent footage and production, from what i found the CF7 is intended for parts 🫤😞
