MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Railroad documents released by the state Department of Public Safety show about 50 trains carrying crude oil from North Dakota are passing through Minnesota each week, most traveling along the Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railway line between Moorhead and the Twin Cities.

The Star Tribune first reported on the documents, which are labeled “confidential,” on Saturday (http://strib.mn/1ppdZsD ). The Associated Press also has obtained them.
