A few times a year, there are special, rare military trains that run in Minnesota. These start at Camp Ripley, and can go anywhere in the nation for training, deployment, or if equipment needs any sort of overhaul or repair. BNSF Railway moves these trains FAST, and after a quick crew change, it was on its way towards Illinois. Power for this was an ES44 on the head end, and a C44-9W on the rear as the DPU. This was a very cool train, and eye catching to say the least!!
The train in this video had a mix of APCs, Abrams tanks, artillery, medical vehicles, and other interesting equipment one doesn't typically see. We'll first see the train at Coon Creek, and take the cross overs as it heads to Northtown Yard. After a fast crew change, the special military train made good time. Additional shots were taken at Saint Paul, and Cottage Grove as they picked up speed, and got a clear route all the way to Prescott, WI.
This was certainly a unique move, and the drone helped to provide a different perspective of it!
