With classic EMD Geep's roaring away, The Twin Cities and Western is a cool railroad! The railroad has some neat operations, and it's always a treat to see them in the Minneapolis and Saint Paul area. In this video, we'll watch them make a run to the Minnesota Commercial, and the race back to Hopkins.
With the sun breaking, and bathing Minneapolis in golden warm sun, we'll first see them rolling around the curve at Harrison St. Right after this, the train is seen again working over at the Minnesota Commercial, and meeting some others along the way. One of these trains was the Midway Switch with a pair of former Santa Fe Warbonnets. Now BADLY faded, they're working out their last days in local service. As the TCWR built up it's train, it even had some cool, classic Family Lines cars mixed in, PLUS a large cut of brand new hoppers.
After they departed, the train is seen a few more times. We'll watch it snake past Cedar Lake, and pass the SWLRT construction site, followed by Saint Louis Park, and lastly Hopkins.

![NEW and FRESH Paint -CPKCs New Paint Scheme!-
Over a year after CP and KCS merged to form CPKC, the new paint scheme has finally been applied to two locomotives! The first locomotive to wear these new colors was CP 9375, and the second one was KCS 4805. Well get up close, and see the 9375 on display, and leading a train out of the Twin Cities!
Starting over at Saint Paul, well see the 9375 over at Saint Paul Yard, resting at the diesel shops. After this, well see it up close over at Union Depot for Train Days. Once the event was over, well catch it heading west in the last light of the day on train 243. Power is only ever this clean ONCE, and its certainly a different from the normal CP and KCS dress on locomotives.
