Awesome video! I'm amazed that CN as a Class I still let's you guys run on the line after buying out the WC.

S&A Rail it’s my understanding that CN had to honor the deal with MTM, and the two have had a friendly relationship since. However yesterday (07/21/2020) the CN has announced intention to sell 850 miles of undisclosed trackage in three states, most of which was admitted by CN to be ex-WC in Wisconsin. So we will see what the future holds.

@@NorthlandTrains I think CN barely even uses the line out of Minneapolis and through Cedar Rapids with only one train running.

Well unless my information is wrong at some point the MTM signed a 99 year lease agreement to run on the Dresser Sub which is why its allowed as far as I know.

I heard recently MNTX Purchased a ATSF CF7? Are there plans to use it on the Osceola and St Croix valley during the excursion seasons?

The CF7 is purchased as a parts donor for GN F7A 454 which has been under restoration. Plans originally were to take everything usable from the CF7 and then scrap what's left, with the hope of running the F7A at Osceola someday. Hard to say if this will happen, new museum management has essentially halted all restoration projects by forcing out volunteers, like myself.

Luckily the rock quarry keeps the line open, if it weren't for that, the line would probably be completely gone by now.
