Railfanning the Minnesota Commerical yard just north of the old St Paul Amtrak station.
This was supposed to just be a camera test while I worked out how my new camera functioned so I didn't bring tripod or monopod. That means that everything was handheld shots, which I was doing from on top of a bouncing bridge. In future I'mm bring some sort of pod and work on planning the shots better.
Footage is from 5-23-15. I didn't think there would anything to see on a Saturday morning this late, especially on a Holiday weekend, but instead I saw two different MNNR teams switching cars (including a slug unit), the eastbound Empire Builder, and a TC&W train that was just starting to cut out cars when I ran out of battery (sorry)
