BN switchers switching the piggy back ramp in St Paul MN in 1980.         
The CBQ and BN used 3 switchers on transfers out of their St Paul yard due to a large 1.8% grade out of St Paul to Mpls MN. That is the old CBQ switch tower that was above the tracks in St Paul. The lead SW1500 is an Ex Great Northern one, note the flexcoil trucks.
