About this cam

Steel Highway Rail Cams watches BNSF's Hinckley Subdivision at Grandy, Minnesota, milepost 102.5. BNSF trains run between Hinckley and Northtown Yard, and Union Pacific and CPKC use the line on trackage rights between Duluth and St Paul.

Steel Highway Rail Cams runs this camera on BNSF's Hinckley Subdivision at Grandy, Minnesota, north of the Twin Cities. The operator's on-screen caption places it at milepost 102.5.

Three railroads share the line. BNSF trains work between Hinckley, Minnesota and Northtown Yard in Minneapolis. Union Pacific and CPKC trains also run here, on trackage rights, moving between Duluth and St Paul — which makes this a better place than most to see foreign power on a BNSF railroad.

The host is the Brass Rail World Famous Chicken in Grandy, and the operator points viewers to the restaurant's site for its menu and hours. The stream monitors AAR 66 (161.100 MHz), and the operator notes the feed is also carried on Broadcastify.

What to watch for

Three railroads on one subdivision is the reason to watch: BNSF running its own Hinckley to Northtown traffic, plus Union Pacific and CPKC trains passing on trackage rights between Duluth and St Paul. Duluth traffic means ore, taconite and grain moving south, and the trackage-rights arrangement means unfamiliar power turns up regularly. AAR 66 (161.100) carries the road channel.
