Remarks: Every Tuesday the Minnesota Commercial runs a loaded sand train from their Midway Yard to BNSF's Dayton's Bluff Yard in St. Paul. In this video, the train is being pulled by a trio of aging units, led by a former Santa Fe SF30C. There is also a rebuilt Alco M636 (equipped with a CAT inline 8) and a GE C30-7 in the consist. The trio puts on a good show of smoke as they double up their train at Midway Yard. We also see the train at Union Junction and at 7th Street near downtown St. Paul.
