In this video, C. Vision Productions takes you to St. Paul, Minnesota in the late 1990s and early 2000s to view railroad action at Dayton's Bluff. Below the bluff is Hoffman Avenue, a busy railroad hotspot where Canadian Pacific, BNSF, and Union Pacific tracks come together. In addition, trains of the I&M Rail Link, Twin Cities & Western, Minnesota Commercial and Amtrak are also seen passing through this important junction. This location is known for its diversity of trains, scenery, and the fabulous St. Paul skyline that makes this capital city so unique. This program will also take you to other key locations in St. Paul. Come along to Short Line Hill, where a TC&W transfer negotiates the grade. We’ll also view trains at Westminster, Robert Street Lift Bridge, St. Anthony, and Minnesota Commercial’s Midway Yard. SD40-2s, SD60s, and SD60Ms ruled the rails during this time, and you’ll see plenty of these locomotives throughout the video. Thanks for watching.
