A long expanse of grass provides a multitude of spots to get east and west traffic on the busy double tracked St. Paul subdivision of BNSF Railway's Twin Cities Division.

Located on the north side of a St. Paul city park, the city mows half of the land between the park and the right-of-way.

Forming a bowl of sorts, on either end the land elevates to provide track level photography.

Signals are visible from most spots at this site. These only light up as trains approach giving fair warning for those without scanners. Most days, trains can be heard working up from station sign Mississippi to the east nearly 5 minutes before they arrive.

A sharp curve on the westend of Victoria makes for perfect early morning telemash shots. Throughout the morning - most of the year - long wedgies are near impossible to miss.

The afternoon sun makes photos all the way to Como Avenue obtainable. The long straight section of track also lends to the wedgie angle.

In the summer, late morning to late afternoon produces shadows from a row of trees. But for catching broadside style roster shots, a photographer can spend all day here.

The northside of the track is tree-lined, but they do not provide vibrant colors in the fall.
