Minnesota Commercial Railway switching in New Brighton, MN

Filmed January 23, 2016
Thanks to the help of a fellow railfan friend (who is heard honking the car horn on occasion), I traveled to New Brighton, MN, ex-Wisconsin Central and Soo Line area.
On this day we watch MNNR B39-8E #84 works a train in the "yard" in town.
A friendly crew seen hard at work, it was a nice change from the BNSF GE widecabs I've grown so accustomed to

Ha! Cool! We have and N-scale Atlas loco modeled after this MNNR #84 and we STILL haven't seen it in real life! This is the closest we have gotten! Thanks for the video!

I remember watching the Soo Line freight trains for hours on end as a boy just across I-35W from there by my grandparents home.

Great memories, I'm sure!
