I am a Minnesota based railfan that comes from a family of multiple generations of workers for the Soo Line Railroad.
My channel features train videos mostly from the Twin Cities area as well as the Twin Ports. As of 2023 I am starting to railfan more out in the country side. That didn’t happen much in 2022 because of inflated gas prices. Oh the times we live in lol. If all goes accordingly in 2023, I am hoping to take a train trip somewhere.
I try to upload videos every week but sometimes I am unable to due to other commitments. Videos are usually uploaded early in the week (Sunday, Monday or Tuesday). Overall there is no official upload schedule but I am working on getting on one.
My channel goals for 2023:
500 subs by the end of August.
800 subs by the end of the year.
Please feel free to give me a follow on my instagram page as well. Link below…

CPKC J42 with re-painted SD40 2 leader back in the winter of 2024 2-2-2024
Back in early February, I was doing an all day railfanning outing and I just happened to catch J42 with an SD40-2 leader. This came as a surprise. Had I had known about it a little more ahead of time, I would have probably chased it from St. Paul Yard to Humboldt yard. I settled for 2 shots at 2 different locations instead. Enjoy!

Well this is something you don't see everyday! After waiting patiently for the NTWDIL manifest to depart Northtown with a BN Green Sd40-2 survivor leading, I was in for one big surprise. As the train approached Coon Creek, it immediately went into emergency. As the conductor went back to inspect the train and the other units, he apparently found no serious issues as the train was able to get on...

I spent the majority of the winter trying to figure a way to make a 500 sub special video. I originally had plans to head out of town somewhere but life got in the way and would not let me. So figured I would do a grand tour around the Twin Cities. The tracks running between Minneapolis & St. Paul are controlled by the East & West Hump dispatchers in Fort Worth, TX. Starting on the St, Paul sid...

love how the guys at the paint shop didnt even bother to paint the "SF" on 54😭💀
That loco isn't on fire. Gunge in the exhaust?
Too hot of an exhaust manifold, and too much unburned fuel, probably due to a very rich mixture...
Great well done!
Looks like I was not too far from you. I was at Cardigan Junction.
Amazing power on this train I hope we can get some of units on the Hinkley sub soon on cp 250 or 251
Like1️⃣🚂🫡🎯🔝awesome consist
A true "railfan"... An engine goes by, spewing flames, and he keeps focused on the rolling stock behind it.
Yeah you deserve way more thumbs up‼️
So I guess I missed this sometimes life is just too unfair
You can still catch him on Sunday. It will be in the cities tell May 5th. It leaves SPUD on Sunday so you will have to travel to the river sub to see it
Sweet
Hey buddy, not sure if you were able to see 2816 while it was here a couple of weeks ago? If not, you will get your chance, it will be running again in the cities as it will be returning to Calgary. It’s scheduled to run from Davenport, IA to St. Paul on July 1st and then from St. Paul to Glenwood on July 3rd. Hope that information is helpful for you…
Thanks for the info
How do you connect DPU's to an old stean locomotive?
My question is how do you add PTC to one?
QUICK!!! Get the emergency marshmallows!!!

すごいですね。信じられない。 チャンネル登録をしました。😺
1964 is one of my favorite sd40s to work on besides the MRL sd40s. Was in Glendive for months. The 1905 was sent east for maintenance after it sat in the laurel roundhouse for a month with mechanical issues. It began working the bottom of the west lead in laurel yard this morning.
And the 1964 is back in Glendive. It was gone for a week or so, now I know where it went. I did catch the 1905 and 54 as they were heading east through here, but missed it on the return trip west. I will definitely have to roll by the Laurel yard on my way to the Livingston/Helena Railfair weekend the 26th!
@@BadlandNP haha I’ll be there 🤣
@@yankeesforlife24 C U there! Will have a black stetson on at a vendor table.
@@BadlandNP I’ll be running. I’m one of the club members
@@BadlandNP also, bad news. The 1905 is leaving Laurel right now and going back to Livingston for work. Shows on a Laurel Pasco
Looks like a blown turbocharger to me
Looks to be a little carbon burning out! Used to see It all the time when i worked the roundhouse for the WC/CN.
The SD40-2 shooting the flames out the stack looks like it is paired with the slug following it. Those are usually used in yard or hump service. I bet the guys in Dilworth will be happy to get that set.
It’s back in laurel, believe it went east for maintenance. That slug and the 1905 has had issues for weeks and has just been sitting in the roundhouse, I believe I saw it on the lead today.
That was Chad's train.
An EMD, on fire???? Shocked I tell you, just shocked!!!!!
Isn't that a GEVO thing?
More of an overall GE thing! Ha ha.
I cannot tell if the smoke is grey or grey/blue. Given the sparks, I presume he is just burning off carbon buildup which is a normal situation especially if the locomotive is seeing high throttle for the first time in a while. The grey smoke would go along with that pretty well. If the smoke had a more blue tint, it would mean the engine is burning oil, indicative of a failed turbo (actually) or another failure allowing oil to burn in the engine. Sparks in the exhaust would not go along with that kind of failure.
💯right!!!!!!
the smoke looks like a turbo failure
BOOOO NEVER EVEN PANNED THE CAMERA🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
lol who gave this kid their iPad
Great video 😊
Well boys, I sent her a little hard there
Too crazy
Amazing 💥😱
Thanks!
Great video production. I love good production camera work and location shooting. Your effort shows. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video!
I loved this video it’s nice seeing train traffic on the south side of the city’s also that four way meet at Dayton’s bluff was amazing
Thanks for watching and your kind comments. If there is a place to catch a 4 way train meet and have a good vantage point, that location is certainly the best spot for it.
Great variety-thanks for sharing. I appreciate the train symbols as well. Technically the BRCNTW & NTWBRC should be preceded by “H” (BNSF’s legend for “high priority manifest”)
Thanks for watching and the info on train symbols - a small overlooked detailed on my part…
I appreciate that you show the entire train rather than just the power. There’s so much interesting stuff that most railfans will miss.
Thanks for watching! I certainly do what I can…
🆕 subscribe 🤝🏽🆗🔝👏🏼💯 likes
Another breaking It friend amazing video 👍🏽
It’s too bad the latest I can be out is 5 PM when I’m rail fanning if I had been out later, I might’ve been able to see this train
Great video! It almost seems like CP has been the nicest railroad for power down there recently
I still can't believe I missed this 💀
Sad Day CP 7011
That was neat and heart warming
What time did you see this train? I literally just got home from railfaning at that exact spot.
CP 7011 now doesn't exist, now it was wrecked and retired :(
I know. It sucks it had to be a heritage unit as well… thanks for watching!
Fantastic video 😉
Thank you very much!
Hey! Southbound CP (344 or 345, can't remember lol) is coming our way with KCS 4003 (not sure if it's leading or trailing). Will let you know when I catch them, heading out in 10 minutes. Boylston 09:49
Thanks for the heads up. Didn’t catch it. Slept in a little later than I had wanted to actually lol. I actually railfanned for just about the whole day yesterday. My first catch was a BNSF ACE duo on a CP grain so I am not too disappointed on missing out on 4003.
Good stuff man, that KEEMAD shot at the wye is great. I so wish I could have gotten that with my drone while that train still existed, crazy how fast and short notice stuff disappears on the railroad now
Thanks for watching. I knew you would like that shot. Also, special thanks for helping me reach 500 subs. I surely could not have done it without ya. I’ll be making a community post about that soon.
Sweet 😎🚂
Excellent share lots of great catches their some great heritage units. Great video 😎🚂🫵
