From the Twin Ports to the Twin Cities

Burlington Northern Santa Fe's Hinckley Subdivision carries a variety of railroad traffic from the Twin Ports of Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin to the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The Hinckley Sub is an important route for commodities moving to and from the shipping ports on Lake Superior.

This line will excite you as it shows trains from owner BNSF, along with Canadian Pacific and Union Pacific. Canadian National trains traversed this route under a haulage agreement with BNSF before the end of 1998. C. Vision cameras capture many CN trains on the Hinckley Sub before they shifted to the Wisconsin Central. You will also see Milwaukee Road steam locomotive, number 261, as it pulls a BNSF Employee Special train!

View beautiful scenery and colorful locomotives such as Soo Line, Chicago & North Western and Duluth Winnipeg & Pacific, pulling trains with each identified by their symbol. You will enjoy this video as it shows non-stop action from the north woods to the Twin Cities.

Awesome! So, how many trains per day do you think pass through the Hinckley Sub?

Has depended on the economy as many taconite moves helped. Currently I would say around 8-10. Thanks for viewing!

A superbly shot and produced video, making it a joy to watch, and thanks for not showing the whole of the freight trains passing which can get tedious sometimes...5* Bob
