Just to the west of the Amtrak station, and visible from its platform, is crossing of the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Railroad and the Canadian Pacific Railway. In this 2002 photo, Amtrak's Empire Builder is stopped on the BNSF track and the freight train crossing in front of it is on the CP track. This crossing is the busiest rail crossing in the state of North Dakota. The building visible behind the Canadian Pacific freight train is the Minot Public Library.
Below are some more pictures of trains in Minot.
Canadian Pacific C44-9W #8559 is passing through Minot with a westbound freight train in July 1999.
Amtrak P42DC #150 is stopped at Minot with the westbound Empire Builder in December 2001.
