Union Pacific operates many transfers in the Twin Cities area, and they almost always rate classic EMD power. The one featured in this video is called YSP51. This train runs from South Saint Paul to East Minneapolis and back. A major obstacle for this job is the stiff grade from Saint Paul heading east to Minneapolis. The EMDs sing and put on a show as they roar by in run 8.
The first shot of YSP51 has four matched SD40Ns wasting no time as they easily tackle the grade by Lexington Ave in Saint Paul. The double stacks on the head end are actually full of items for Amazon, and their Prime services. After that, the train is seen one more time easing through Saint Anthony, and past the Minnesota Commercial Yard. The other shots of this transfer offer views of it crossing the old, and tired, Robert Street Lift Bridge. After easing its 105 car train over the Mississippi, we catch up to it at Union Jct. At this location, we are even treated to a drone view, and see some classic Southern Pacific freight cars mixed in.
