A Kansas City to Northtown Yard, MN, freight is about 85 miles from the next crew change point at Wilmar, MN. Here the train climbs out of Ruthton along highway 23. This is the Marshall Sub, a BNSF secondary mainline that twist and turn from Willmar, MN, to Sioux City, IA, with alot of the trackage along the Minnesota-South Dakota Stateline.
