SP tunnel motors in Minnesota
Title:  SP tunnel motors in Minnesota
Description:  I believe this was an experiment by BN to see how this particular set of engines handled tunnels out west. They were on an eastbound coal train heading towards LaCrosse when I got some pictures of them at Oakland Tower on the south end of BNs Daytons Bluff Yard.
