Minnesota Northern Railroad and Dakota Northern Railroad: Sister Shortlines

In this video, C. Vision Productions takes you to northwestern Minnesota and northeastern North Dakota to view train operations on the Minnesota Northern Railroad and Dakota Northern Railroad. Starting off with the Minnesota Northern, we’ll see MNN trains operating over trackage rights on Canadian Pacific’s Detroit Lakes Subdivision and BNSF’s Grand Forks Subdivision between Thief River Falls and Crookston, via Erskine. After that, we’ll tour MNN’s own rails between Thief River Falls and Warroad. Locomotive models include SW8, GP7, GP9, GP39-2, and SD40 (SD40-3). Not only will we provide you with ground shots, we’ll also take two rides in Minnesota Northern’s caboose number 19. We’ll ride between Erskine and Thief River Falls, and again through the community of Roseau. Moving over to the Dakota Northern, we’ll follow the railroad between Grafton, North Dakota and Walhalla, North Dakota, with two trains documented in this segment. In Cavalier, the trains meet and exchange traffic before heading back to their respective points of origin. Locomotives in this segment are ILSX 1391 and ILSX 1392, both identified as model GP10. Locomotives seen in this video: MNN 909 (SW8) ILSX 1332 (GP9) ILSX 1339 (SD40-3) ILSX 1340 (SD40-3) MNN 1380 (GP7) ILSX 1381 (GP9) MNN 1383 (GP9) ILSX 1389 (GP39-2) ILSX 1391 (GP10) *history shows GP8 ILSX 1392 (GP10) Original Music: Erik Shicotte Trevor Garrett Spiff Burlocke More from C.
