Where to these smaller trains operate? I used to live in Aitkin, and I never see these small trains where I reside now(Staples/Motley/Wadena region).

This one travels three days a week between Superior, Wisconsin and either Brainerd, Pillager, or Motley, depending on where there are cars to deliver and/or pick up.

That's what I thought, but wasn't sure. Thanks.

BTW, did you get any pictures of the derailment at Motley? I went by the other day, and a few cars were still there.

No, I didn't, but the Brainerd Dispatch's Spotted galleries had a few albums of good photos.

I like it. What do you use to shoot video?

[mwmnp25]

Just an old 8mm camcorder. It's a bit more work to transfer video to the computer than I might like, but it works all the same.

[seankolker]

I had that lead unit back in 2005 and that was one of the nicest Geeps I`ve ever had,Sioux City,IA to Granite Falls empty rock U train-units to Willmar.

No, they really don't. I used to work in the building next to the old station(it's a Marathon gas station). The again, the town itself has several crossing in close proximity to each other.
