Here is the video you requested. The Sunday Extra Transfer was one of the last trains to operate on historic Shoreham Hill. The transfer would take cars from Shoreham yard to St. Paul and would put on quite a show! Every Sunday morning this job would gring up the hill with four Geeps, two cabooses, helpers and lots of smoke! Videographer Profile  Detailed Video Statistics

User Comments on this Video (8) Posted by Bob Holman on August 3, 2009 Thats a darn good video thanks for sharing. Posted by Tom Farence on August 4, 2009 4 ex passenger GP9s and 3 frt GP7s...thats why they were the good old days. In the 60s the Milwaukee used to do the same out of Pigs Eye on the Scally. What a great show it was! Posted by Kent Nelson on August 4, 2009 Wow this is a great video Bob. There's nothing like the sound of several geeps at notch 8. Thanks for sharing this. Posted by wi joe on August 4, 2009 Let me be the first to say, that was quite a show. Very historic video. Thank you. Posted by Chris on August 4, 2009 The GP9 is a favorite locomotive of mine, and I think this is one of the coolest scenes. You have pusher GP9's and a quartet on the point. Sweet! Posted by Douglas H on August 4, 2009 Great video. :-) Nice to see it on here. Posted by Rob Tuck on August 13, 2009 I agree with Kent,they sound so good. Thanks again Bob for the memories. Posted by Bob Petit on November 18, 2009 Four Geeps on the front, three on the rear, it just doesn't get any better than that when you love first generation power! - Post a Comment - (Registration is not required to post photo comments, but is encouraged.)
