I lived In Willmar from 1978 - 2000. It is a beautiful town With a lot of rail action. Amtrak use to go through Willmar ending in 1979 I think when they decided to stay with the St Cloud line from Mpls to Fargo. There is major yard there also with up to 50 to 70 train daily.

Thank for a great video and beautiful color.

[clasko69]

[19932606D]

thank you for your answer!

[trainzguy101]

@19932606D I go through there when i go to South Dakota and i also see gp38s there

[atfatw]

@19932606D its sooooo very typical of minnesota banal dreary depressing. a semi ghosttown the shops and stores in the downtown area have been closed for decades people that live there (JUST 10,000) go elsewhere for goods and services.

only illegals live there and work for the town's only employer jennie -o foods makers of filthy carcinogenic chemical ridden turky loaf, pillbury's nasty

tofu fries and thats it. the whites work for the state of minnesota the largest employer in that darn state

[atfatw]

@19932606D minnesot is the largest emploer in willmar or anyplace in minnesota whites work as cops, railroad guys, road menders, prison guards etc.... most minnesotans have no advanced job skills or college training if fact most of them just have GEDS.

I sure hope YOU 'RE not thinking of moving to willmar

my favorite video. from you that i own. i love your SD9 footage , love their highnoses odd leslies smoke and whing . SD9s were perfect. i belive theve being retired . most of the old model GEEP and SD power in this video is now historic due to all of the power BNSf is storing.

[moon47mars]

Incredible footage of that BNSF 297 SD70MAC!!! I never seen that paint scheme before!!

[trainmasterfm2]

i cant believe this was 5 years ago

[BNSF5608]

I remember all of the Cadillacs! But i havent seen ONE since then. They must have returned to rest in Northtown.

[clasko69]

A couple at Northtown, but the rest either stored or sold.

[MinnesotaRails]

I need to go to the Wayzata Sub sometime. Awesome video! Thanks for posting!

[BNSF5608]

Hey wait.. I just noticed they caught the 9727! Lucky bastards, I didn't have my camera with me when I saw it headed east between Kandiyohi and Atwater...

[BNSF9250]
