What a night in Winona! this was from back in december when I took a trip to Winona MN with Amazing results. The trains featured in this video were taken from 7 PM to 10.
train 1 - The CP day Job - G80 - heads east towards Tower CK with a lengthy local and a caboose in tow
train 2 - the Only train which runs daily on the UP Winona Sub and I was lucky enough to catch it! Best part about this train - it runs with a Mo-Pac Bay window caboose. With a SP GP60 on the point, this was one hell of a train!!
Train 3 - Hitting tower CK in run 8, DM&E 277 heads west. When the crew of G80 told me that 277 was on approach, I couldn't have been happier, knowing that that train always has a nice array of power. With a grey CITX unit leading, the CITX "disco" unit 2nd out, and a DM&E SD40-3 trailing, this train made for a nice sight.
Train 4 - After being told that the line was clear for eastbound Empire builder Amtrak number 7 - I was shocked to see a pair of Westbound manifests head through Winona, racing to Minnesota City to take the siding. This train has some weird power as well, with a CP SD40-2 on the point of a pair of NS units!
Train 5 - right on the tail of the last train, a pair of SOO SD60's lead this train towards Minnesota City.
Train 6 - The eastbound empire builder Amtrak number 7 makes its scheduled station stop about an hour and half behind its scheduled 8:30 stop.
