Great catch! Hwy 10 NW of the cities is one of the best corridors for non-invasive trainspotting. Depending on traffic, you can get ahead of a train easily. Used to live in Big Lake and enjoyed my commute because of this. My favorite time to catch a train was right after a fresh snow but before the plows got all of the crossings. Something very magical about a train in the snow at night.
They do have a Area in Minneapolis called Northern pump. Where they build Tanks. And other military support vehicles. Some serious fire power being assemble.
My uncle worked there Art Hoff and my Nabors in Nordeast Minneapolis. They lived by the Columbia golf course Saint Anthony Boulevard, Soo line railroad yard.area. and the old Norwegian Park. Saint Anthony Blvd goes through all the way down to the Burlington Northern railroad yards. To the NSP plant. Edison High was the high school that I went to. graduated in 76
Nice catch. Great to see a regular cab GP60 strutting it's stuff, and still in Blue none the less! Best looking of all the Geeps in my opinion. Cheers.
I beg to differ. Wasted tax payer money on violence, murder and the manipulation of the media to convince the weak minded that this is "for our safety" & "preserve freedom" for somebody. Keeps the money rolling in to feed the munitions and equipment mfgr's. Its a matter of ego and greed by whatever power hungry souless entities reside within the dod, the bringers of death, they feed on blood.
Thanks for the comment; these were going back to Camp Ripley in Minnesota. I had heard these came from Fort Irwin in California after a few training operations.
I aw a train fully loaded with tanks, and I was wondering to they have special weight-bearing cars for them, cause even one seems like an awful lot of weight for one car.
If Camp Ripley, unit probably was the 1st armored brigade of the 34th infantry division. There rotation at the National Training Center was in 2020. Equipment would have been on the move.
Trains and tanks...two of my favorite interests rolled into one!
Same ❤️🤝❤️
It has always been interesting that there is just a couple of geeps pulling all that.

Thank you for the comment! They used to build stuff there, but half of the plant was recently torn down and replaced with new offices and a brewery.

Thanks for posting your videos. brings back memories.
@@anthonyzimba3601 Glad you enjoyed them, and thank you for the kind comment!
@@anthonyzimba3601 you and i must know some of the same people. Did you know Scott Lennart or Tim Derosier?

Thank you very much! Seeing one of these in a day was nice, but seeing the second with that leader was a great catch. Thanks for watching!
Great video. I shared this on the "Military Vehicle Sightings" group on fb.
I've never seem them move military equipment in the day - only at night.
Thanks for the comment! It was certainly a treat to see this, and two right in a row at that.
Two see that much armor being moved around implies a huge war on the horizon.
Thanks for the comment! This is part a normal move which occurs a few times each year.
Excelente Military Trains !!! Saludos desde Argentina

Absolute amazing
Thx Doug.
The unit is probably the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT) of the 34th Infantry Division. Heading to/from National Training Center in Ft Irwin?
Thanks for the comment; these were going back to Camp Ripley in Minnesota. I had heard these came from Fort Irwin in California after a few training operations.
Tanks a lot for the video
Out in our part of the country the military always seems to use CSX.
I aw a train fully loaded with tanks, and I was wondering to they have special weight-bearing cars for them, cause even one seems like an awful lot of weight for one car.
Wonder if they went all the way into Ripley over that combo rail/highway bridge over the Mississippi?
They eventually did; this entire train will run into the camp for unloading. Thanks for watching, and the comment.
Anyone think of Red Alert 2?
Can you verify that this train was going to Camp Ripley? It was seen on several webcams going east on the BNSF transcon line
Thanks for the comment and watching. Yes, I am sure of these both going to Camp Ripley.
@@SD457500 I was not in the Millitary so that is that

Preparing for Chinese pla that's in Canada!
You will soon see why it’s here
Thanks for the comment, and watching! These moves happen a few times for a year for normal training operations, nothing out of the ordinary to see.
@@SD457500 okee dokee artichokey.
@@tylermcdermott6730 My understanding is just the normal military stuff, drills, work, etc.
Russia and Ukraine
Wow!

Thanks for the comment! Yes sir, and these moves happen a few times a year, but seeing two of these in a single day is a rare sight in Minnesota.
