Colorful, Old School, Minnesota Commercial's GE's -AMAZING K5LA Horn-

The Minnesota Commercial has LONG been known for its ALCo fleet, but with those now all gone, old GEs now rule the rails. While most of their fleet wears a classy coat of red paint, new additions to the roster have made things quite colorful!
In the last year, they acquired a former TTI unit, which has a nice white, and blue paint scheme. About ten years ago, they picked up a former LMX B39-8E. While the paint is now over ten years old, it is still holding up well. When that locomotive goes by you'll see its missing a screen over its rear radiator. Lastly, we'll have a unit which wears paint well over 20 years old, MNNR 48. We'll follow this cool looping trio on the Belt Job as it runs up to New Brighton, puts on a show, and works its way back down the line.

I love the coughing sound of those old GE's. Great video Douglas! ;)

Great GE 4-stroke sounds.

Checker board frame rail reminds me of gbw. Excellent video😊

[@keithwest2575]

Thanks. Thoroughly enjoyed.

[@wildbill9919]

I like older GEs such as U boats, Dash 7s, and standard cab Dash 8s.

GE's at there best multiple units on a heavy train and on a grade they sound great 👍

[@chuckhalen9543]

76 has that MoPac blue color to it. Surprised it was a previous Seaboard locomotive.

[@steventurner820]

Love seeing those old GEs, though too bad the Alcos are going.
I like 48 with those red number boards

[@Trains_Storms]

Awesome 😎

[@buecomet831]

Honestly I hope they just repaint her with the blue and white and just add the Minnesota Commercial logo on it.

[@rossrossier935]

Nice video. Any chance of a update where my old GBW Alcos are these days? thanx!!!

[@Runt3132]

Going up to Minneapolis next month. What is the usual schedule/operating practices of the MC and what are some good places to catch the action?

[@kodachromerailroadvideos6571]

58 is missing part of it's radiator grills. I feel like those should be looked at

Sad the Alco's are starting to fall.
