 Date: 07/02/05 09:10 Minnesota Commercial New Brighton Job Author: cozephyr MNNR 48 handled the New Brighton Job back to Midway Yard on June 16, 2005. I'm glad to see them using the "winged streamliner" on their units. Class operation!
 Date: 07/02/05 09:15 Re: Minnesota Commercial B30-7 48 on New Brighton Job Author: santafedan These were taken last July while on the eastbound Empire builder. This one is from the platform. The rest are thru the window. So the colors are off a little from the train. The terminal was full as this was a Sunday morning.

 Date: 07/02/05 09:21 Re: Minnesota Commercial B30-7 48 on New Brighton Job Author: santafedan Another.
 Date: 07/02/05 09:23 Re: Minnesota Commercial B30-7 48 on New Brighton Job Author: santafedan Still another.
 Date: 07/02/05 09:26 Re: Minnesota Commercial B30-7 48 on New Brighton Job Author: santafedan Just like shooting fish in a barrel.
 Date: 07/02/05 09:32 Re: Minnesota Commercial B30-7 48 on New Brighton Job Author: santafedan Sorry about the angle of this one. It was a grab the last shot as they dissapeared from view. It was nice of them to line them up for me.

Date: 07/02/05 09:48 Re: Minnesota Commercial New Brighton Job Author: santafedan No, I was at the mercy of AMTRAK. A fan trip up that would be nice though.
Date: 07/02/05 12:12 Re: Minnesota Commercial New Brighton Job Author: mderrick If the big Alco in the picture there is number 73 (I can only see the thumbnails), just read where the 636 Associates bought that recently, and it may join the other big MLWs holding down duties on the NYSW.
MNNR seems to be slowly but surely steering away from a predominately Alco roster to GEs. Mike Derrick http://www.shortlinesusa.com Date: 07/02/05 23:06 Re: Minnesota Commercial New Brighton Job Author: highhood are thoes ex cp units with a new name or is that there own paint scheme

Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Harry Date: 07/03/05 01:01 Re: Minnesota Commercial New Brighton Job Author: csxt4617 highhood Wrote:
------------------------------------------------------- > are thoes ex cp units with a new name or is that > there own paint scheme The ex-CP's are the Alco/MLW units. I believe they have an M630 (73, ex-CP 4573), an RS18 (don't remember the number) and an M636C (ex-CP 4711, rebuilt with a cat engine). I saw the RS18 and M636C back in 98 or 99 when they were heading west thru Michigan on a CP train enroute to MNNR. Date: 07/03/05 04:51 MNNR 858 Author: MTMEngineer tracktime Wrote:
