Both engines just crossed the UP line on Stagecoach trail just south of 47th St which is south of Stillwater and on the west edge of Bayport.

Elvis has left the building. 

Look for more of my videos on YouTube under Boyd W.

Video of locomotives moving from Stillwater, MN to Randolph, MN. Randolph is 40 miles south of Minneapolis. From there they will be loaded onto flatcars for shipment to Iowa Pacific at Alamosa, CO. The Twin Cities have had mild weather in the past few days and the snow is all gone.
