That "unidentified warbonnet" is (it's hard to tell from the angle) an SD75M or SD75I. They are essentially the same loco but the I has an Insolated Cab & one can see this as a line that runs down the side of the nose. The 2nd warbonnet is a C44-9W. P s- like the locale. Nice view of a fast sweeping curve.
I think that they are upgrading the grade crossing barrier ready for the start of Northstar service. They appear to be working on all the crossings in Elk River. As for the max speed I've no idea at the moment. Perhaps someone on OMR might know
It certainly is a beauty. I wonder what they'll look like when the get dirty though...

The horn of the cab car makes it sound like it's crying.

Thanks!
A nice movie of BNSF and Northstar Commuter Rail trains.
The last scene(NSCR) was the best!
Will the Northstar Train be able to go 79 MPH like Amtrak?
What is going on by the Elk River station sign?
The unknown warbonnet says Santa Fe
Princeton.
