Welcome to the Trainscapes segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Trainscapes will feature train content including videos of trains and behind the scenes action of trains and locomotives. Some people have an interest in seeing trains, and we here at Geek Alabama aim to please the train lovers!
With America’s 250th birthday just around the corner, railroads are starting to paint locomotives in special commemorative colors for the event! CPKC recently did FIVE locomotives in special USA 250th paint, and every single one of them made their way to the Twin Cities area. Lets see these patriotic locomotives, while they’re still factory fresh, in a fitting tribute to the USA!
All five of CPKC’s USA 250 units will be shown in this video, and all captured in just a few days time! We’ll traverse the Twin Cities area, and travel down the River Sub to see these sharp locomotives racing down the rails. Along the way, we’ll see Amtrak, transfers, and other trains along the way. With lots of beautiful locations, and drone views, you’ll want to see this!
