What happens when a locomotive is no longer needed, and worn out? They go to a place, a placed called....The Deadline! The deadline at the Minnesota Commercial locomotives has grown, made up of RARE ALCo and GEs, sitting silent. Get up close to these survivors before the scrap torch arrives, and learn the history of each locomotive. We'll even see most of these engines in service, before they were put to rest.
Lets take an aerial view of the well known Minnesota Commercial Railway, and their deadline! Lots of rare power is seen; the LAST ALCo RS27s, RS18, RS23, GEs, and so much more. We'll even see video of these locomotives when they were active, before being put to rest in the deadline. Tons of ALCo smoke, a near miss with a truck, and so much more is to be seen!
**ALL drone footage was taken with PRIOR Permission from the FAA via LAANC approval in Class Bravo airspace**
