Military Train with Tanks, M1 Abrams, Bradley's (BFV), support vehicles, and more -Drone views-

A few times a year, there are special rare military trains that run in Minnesota. These start at Camp Ripley, and can go anywhere in the nation for training, deployment, or if equipment needs any sort of overhaul or repair. BNSF Railway moves these trains FAST, and after a quick crew change, it was on its way again.

We start off seeing this special train at the Fridley Northstar Station with a pair of ES44s for power. Directly behind the power were a line of M1 Abrams tanks, followed by support vehicles, Bradley Fighting Vehicles (BFV), and more tanks. Shoving hard on the end were two more ES44s. We'll get a nice view with the drone as it pulls past, and gets ready for a crew change at Northtown Yard. The train is seen one last time at University. Just before the military train pulls past, Canadian Pacific's Transfer One, H36, is seen pulling into Shoreham Yard with a GP40/GP20C-ECO for power. This made for a near perfect meet of the two trains! After a few more unique views with the camera, and drone, the train races off into the distance.

This was a unique move, and the drone helped to provide a different perspective of it!
