I’m a railfan from Minnesota and I film trains from all over the state, but mainly the areas in and around the Twin Cities. I’ve loved trains my whole life and in 2019 I decided to create a TH-cam channel and start posting the trains I see while trackside for all of you to enjoy. I hope you like my content and if you do, please consider subscribing! Also, please follow me on Instagram where I post all the photos I take while railfanning!
Enjoy!!

Ex-SP Patch Unit 6379 Leading CPKC Train 645
This was recorded back on 6/13/23 in Hamel, Minnesota. I made every effort to see this train once I heard about it and it did not disappoint! Southern Pacific is my favorite fallen flag and has been for a very long time so this was awesome to see, especially leading. There’s only a handful of these units left that still wear the SP scheme, so I’m happy I saw this because who knows if I’ll ever get another opportunity.
Enjoy!!

Canadian Pacific Holiday Train | 2022
มุมมอง 2322 ปีที่แล้ว
It’s been a long time since I’ve been trackside mainly because I’ve just been insanely busy. However, I figured the holiday train which hasn’t run since 2019 was worth going out for. Sadly, I wasn’t able to stay out until dark, but the Christmas lights are still visible enough. I don’t know when my next upload will be, so just in case I don’t upload again until next year, I want to wish all of ...

Amtrak 8 Eastbound Empire Builder at St Paul Union Depot (BONUS CLIP AT END)
มุมมอง 1K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This was during the “2022 St Paul Union Depot Train Days” event.” I got to the depot literally 2 minutes before the train got there so I had to run through the building as fast as I could and down on to the platform. I ended up getting some pretty cool shots!! Enjoy!! Follow me on Instagram here: minnesota_rail_fan
My First Few Trains/Catches of 2022
มุมมอง 752 ปีที่แล้ว
It took me 58 days to finally see my first few train of 2022. I’ve been really busy with some personal stuff so far this year and haven’t had time for railfanning but I was able to get trackside for a little while this past Sunday. (2/27/22) Nothing special, but it was nice seeing a few trains for the first time in a while. Instagram: minnesota_rail_fan Enjoy!!

Amtrak 161 Leading a 7 Hour Late Eastbound Empire Builder
มุมมอง 1733 ปีที่แล้ว
Earlier this week, a friend told me that Amtrak 161 would be leading the Empire Builder on Wednesday. We both went to Elk River to catch it. It was -2° outside but it was worth it! This video was filmed with AH Trains. Make sure to go check out his channel. Instagram: minnesota_rail_fan Enjoy!!
NS 4002 Leading The NSINTW
มุมมอง 663 ปีที่แล้ว
This past Friday, I caught NS 4002 (one of the DC to AC units) leading the H-NSINTW on the BNSF St Paul Subdivision. It was absolutely freezing cold outside but it was worth the wait. I filmed this train with (AH Trains) so make sure to go check out his channel. Instagram: minnesota_rail_fan Enjoy!!

After getting a heads up from a friend about this train, I headed to the MNS line and waited. It took about 30 minutes of waiting for the train to show up after switching an industry a mile south from me. Instagram: minnesota_rail_fan Enjoy!!

Amtrak Trains And A Power Move

I rode Amtrak’s 5 California Zephyr from Chicago, IL to Emeryville, CA. My hotel in Emeryville had a view facing the tracks. So I decided to film a bunch of the Amtrak’s that go by here every day.

CN SD40-2W Pulls A Short Train Through New Brighton
I remember when NS sent their heritage units on oil trains to North Dakota eleven years ago. Fun times.
W lash up! Great video man! Just found this gemstone of a great channel! New sub here!
Good video! The military train was carrying equipment from 173rd Brigade Engineering Battalion; 32nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team from Camp Williams, WI; 36th Combat Aviation Brigade from 36th Infantry Division Texas Army National Guard; 108th Sustainment Brigade from Chicago IL part of 34th Infantry Division MN ANG & 157th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade of 32nd Infantry Brigade Team WI ANG. All are heading to Warfighter Exercise (WFX) 22-1 @ Camp Ripley, KS.
I know exactly where this is. Behind the camera there is a Holiday gas station, and the ISD 279 District office. If you go down the road in the direction the camera is pointed, with a few turns you'll find the UPS Building, and with a few more you'll find a Costco, office max and Petco, with a few more stores in the general vacinity.
Love the tc&w!
nice! i saw 6379 a couple years ago while waiting for 1988 down here in kansas
Wow so beautiful my dear friend I'm from India 🇮🇳🙏🙏
Nice to see the BNSF up front on the Amtrak
Oh wow nice!
WHAT IS 9804’s HORN? byw good video!
Great Video
I sure do miss the days when 1687 & 1458 would pull mainline freights together every day.
Awesome!
Thank you!! Just subbed!
@@minnesota_railfan Thanks
Nice
It’s a French horn🚂👍🏽 awesome video
That horn is nightmare fuel
Nice video🚂🚂🙋♂️🙋♂️ ..from india😃😃
Beautiful capture..👌👌👌🚂🚂🙋♂️😀
Awesome catch great video
Great catch in great weather! Subbed!
great catches! love your content you deserve more attention.
Thank you!
You must have gotten the SUPNTW in the morning? Because I Got the NTWSUP on the Hinckley Sub at 6:24 PM on this day! BNSF 251 was the leader for me!
I saw the SUPNTW at 1:27pm
That unit doesn't have that horn anymore sadly
Hey, are you part of the north metro model railroad club?
No
@@minnesota_railfan ok👍 I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!
@@cheesewonton7263 thank you!
Great catches especially the military train. Thanks for sharing! Subbed from insta
I saw both of these trains, pretty neat
I loved the military train since my brother is in the army it looks awesome you videos are awesome 😎😎 keep it up. Also how do you find all those trains.
Thanks! I find out about different trains from different things. I either get a heads up about them from friends or I see them pass a webcam.
You sure got lucky with that military train!😎
Man that is lucky! A HU and Vet Locomotive in ONE train!!!!! Well done!
Wow that BNSF leading was cool!!
Nice video man!
Great video!!
Where was this?
First clip is in Medina, MN. The other 2 clips are in Rockford, MN.
You got lucky man! Bummer I missed him on the Hinckley Subdivision… Maybe I can get him coming back south!
naturally any hinckley sub video exists and you comment on it 😂😂😂
@@BNSF1458 would you expect anything else!?😂😅 Practically the Hinckley King, now got some competition with you now! Mean that in a good way though!😁
@@RealRailfan LOL
Im in Minnesota. I didn’t know Amtrak ran through Minnesota. I thought they were only ran through Minneapolis and then left?
They start in Chicago, go through Wisconsin to St. Paul Union Depot. Then go up to Fargo and through North Dakota, Montana, and Idaho. Once they get to Spokane Washington, half of the train goes to Seattle and the other half goes to Portland. Then they turn around and head back to Chicago.
@@minnesota_railfan oh so they probably run through where I am but I’ve always been unlucky and never got to see one.
@@cheesewonton7263 they run through Minnesota at night if they’re on time. If they’re late then they run through in daylight.
@@minnesota_railfan that’s probably why I never see them lol. Maybe some day if I’m lucky.
@@cheesewonton7263 what city are you in I’ll probably know if they run through there or not
Sure had a successful week! What was the second train? Had power like the Hinckley Local or St. Cloud Local, but too long...🤔
Second train was the H-NTWGFD. Kinda rare to have a geep duo leading that train.
Nice catch! You just earned a new subscriber! I hope to sometime catch 1458, but school and life conflict with railfanning!
Thank you!!
All that CP Power on that last train, that is really cool! Also really like how we both got a lot of the same trains today, just at different times and parts on Minnesota!😁😎
Cool video! Too bad there are not many more of these SOO Line locomotives left!
wow I can comment on your videos
“Some” AWESOME Staples Subdivision action!!!!!! Especially since you got my iconic Hinckley Subdivision Duo (BNSF 251/BNSF 252)!😎😍😁👍
Awesome video dude! Looks like you hade a great railfanning night!👌
Real Railfan sorta. The first train blocked my view of a BN SD60M leader on the other side so I’m a little upset but it’s whatever.
That gas station sure offers a nice amount of light! Hopefully you will see 1458 leading again.
ah trains Yeah 😖
Another good video! I enjoyed seeing that 252 and great pumpkin duo in Big Lake. Thanks for the heads up😉 I still wonder why Metro Transit does not allow filming on the platform.
ah trains Yeah it’s a mystery
Excellent video my friend😉👍
beautiful christmas trains on snow day. thank you minnesota rail fan.
Excellent video 😉👍
War bonnet!!!
The MN railfan 1003 that’s a fakebonnet. It has BNSF lettering not Santa Fe
Great video, I really like this colorful trains :-) *Thumbup
Super video 😍👌
