St. Paul, MN: Minnesota Commercial Railway (MNNR)/Minnesota Transfer Railroad "A" Yard

(Satellite)

Minnesota Commercial Railway
The MNNR switching and terminal railroad operates out of the St. Paul area with service to Minneapolis, Bayport, Hugo, Fridley and New Brighton. It is based out of a roundhouse on Cleveland Ave. in St. Paul just blocks south of the former Amtrak station and the “A” Main Yard is just to the north of the station. Daily connections are made with BNSF, CP, UP, CN and TC&W. The line was originally the Minnesota Transfer Railroad, and was owned by the major railroads serving the Twin Cities area. The Minnesota Transfer was purchased by the Minnesota Commercial in 1987.

I could not determine where the roundhouse was. This yard is near the middle of this map excerpt.
