ALCo RS27 Smoking on the Hugo Job

The ALCo RS27 was a rare bird when it was made back in the day, and seeing one still in operation is an even rarer feat! Thankfully, the Minnesota Commercial still has the last two, and the only operating one left, the 316. The 316 was built back in 1962 for the CNW, and is in daily service on the MNNR.

We'll start off in Vadnais Heights as the train tackles one of the biggest hills on the line, follow it to White Bear, and then chase it back to Roseville before calling it a day. Hugo thanks the the Minnesota Commercial Railroad, the great crew, and Steve for making this happen!
