Saint Paul Transfer |
Description: |
The six day week Saint Paul Transfer departs from Saint Paul Yard as it starts its treak towards the Minnesota Commercial. It sure was nice seeing four Soo units together on 2011, something that is getting harder as time goes on. This train sure would have sounded good roaring up Shortline Hill with 88 cars, however, a late running Amtrak made it sit for an hour. By then, the light was almost gone. |

The conductor, TJ, is looking out to see if he can see the tail end of his train as it wraps around the curve. This shot was taken at about 7:15, so it really brought out the color and contrast, making everything stand out! |
