Chicago Central & Pacific, Crandic, DM&E, GB&W: Midwest Railroading in the 1980s and 1990s C Vision Productions 2023-07-14 | C. Vision Productions takes you back to the 1980s and 1990s to view trains on four Midwest regional and shortline railroads from the camera of videographer Bob Rivard. Starting on the Chicago Central & Pacific, you’ll see the railroad’s ragtag fleet of first and second-generation EMD “geeps”, many of which being “Paducahbilt” GP8 and GP10 locomotives of ICG heritage. Other locomotives seen include CC&P’s red GP38s, along with former Milwaukee Road GP20 rebuilds. We’ll cover the CC&P over the rolling landscape of the Corn Belt between Galena, Illinois and Hinton, Iowa. Next, we head to Cedar Rapids, Iowa to cover the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City Railway. Affectionately known as the “Crandic”, this railroad operated a small group of GP9s and EMD switchers before their locomotive fleet was upgraded. Next, the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern gets into the act, with classic GP9, SD7, SD9, and SD10 locomotives. These units came to the DM&E very early in the railroad’s existence, with many still wearing colors of the Chicago & North Western, Milwaukee Road, and Norfolk & Western. Finally, we head to Wisconsin to see the Alco-powered Green Bay & Western Railroad. Yard switching, road trains, and even a cab ride aboard GBW C424 321, are featured in this segment. As a special treat, we view the operations of the SS City of Midland 41 railroad car ferry, including a journey aboard the vessel across Lake Michigan between Kewaunee, Wisconsin and Ludington, Michigan.If you like what you’ve seen, check out the links below for more C.

Chicago and North Western (CNW), The Final Days - Remembering the Cowboy FULL VIDEO C Vision Productions 2023-05-19 | In this video, C. Vision Productions brings you the final chapter of the Chicago and North Western's operations of its Western Division before the railroad became part of the vast Union Pacific system in 1995. We’ll begin the show by presenting footage of the "Cowboy Line" between Norfolk and Chadron, Nebraska, including more coverage of the final train before operations on this section ceased in December of 1992. In addition, we’ll see trains on the North Western‘s “Colony Line” between Colony, Wyoming and Dakota Junction in Nebraska. C. Vision's cameras captured Chicago and North Western operations on this line in the final years of the railroad’s existence, including one of the last C&NW trains before the Union Pacific takeover. Soon after the sale of the Colony Line to the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern in 1996, C. Vision returned to document DM&E operations in the Black Hills. We were fortunate to capture the Mount Rushmore locomotive, DME 6359, as it led a southbound train from Belle Fourche to Rapid City. For EMD fans, you’ll see models SD40-2, SD40-3, GP50, GP40, GP35, GP9, and GP7 doing what they do best, as the locomotives power heavy trains across Nebraska and South Dakota. We’ll also see GECX 3004, a rare GE Super 7 locomotive, while it was working out of Rapid City paired up with a CNW GP40. This video relives the history of the C&NW, right up until its final hours as an independent company. The 1990s brought a renaissance in the railroad industry, as well as the end of an era in American railroading. Thank you for watching.

Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Vol. 3, The PRC & Black Hills: DM&E’s Beautiful West End C Vision Productions 2023-03-23 | In our final edition of Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern coverage, C. Vision's cameras take you to the far west end of the DM&E system. Beginning in Pierre, we immediately cross the Missouri River to cover the remaining miles of DM&E's mainline to Rapid City, over the infamous PRC Subdivision. Trains are seen traveling through the isolated, scenic area along the Bad River between Fort Pierre and Midland, climbing the steep grade of Wall Hill, and traveling through the beautiful Cheyenne River Valley, near Wasta. Next, we will take a brief look at a portion of the old "Cowboy Line", between Chadron and Crawford, Nebraska, now being operated by the Nebraska Northwestern Railroad. Last, but certainly not least, we will explore the Black Hills Subdivision from Dakota Junction, Nebraska to Colony, Wyoming. While in South Dakota, this route follows the eastern edge of the Black Hills from one end to the other, making it one of the most scenic stretches of railroad in the state. Bentonite is this railroad's lifeblood, and we see many trains of the heavy clay operating across the hilly terrain of western South Dakota. You won’t be disappointed in the variety of motive power assigned to these trains, as locomotive models GP7, GP9, SD7, SD9, SD10, GP38-3, GP40, GP50, SD40 (SD40-3), SD40-2, and SD60 are all seen in service. With coverage beginning in 1991, and extending into the Canadian Pacific era, this program brings you the complete DM&E story, showcasing the many changes that have occurred since the railroad came into existence in 1986. As an added bonus, a brief look at C&NW operations in the Black Hills is also included.Original Music:Erik ShicotteTrevor GarrettSpiff Burlocke Thanks for watching, and be sure to check out more from C.

Vision Productions takes you to the Sunshine State to view train action on the Florida East Coast Railway. At the time this video was produced, FEC operated with a pure EMD roster, consisting of models SD40-2, SD70M-2, GP40, GP40-2, and GP38-2 in a variety of different paint schemes. We'll cover the north end of the railroad between St. Augustine and Stuart, Florida on several beautiful winter days in February and March of 2014. The Florida East Coast was one of the last places where one could see classic EMDs handling high speed intermodal trains along a modern mainline corridor, and the railroad certainly delivered on all fronts during our visit. From the Nation's Oldest City, to the Space Coast, C. Vision brings you fast-paced railroad action on a railfan favorite, the Florida East Coast Railway.Special Thanks:Andy Shireman Bob PickeringScott HarrisMore C.

Minnesota Commercial Railway - 70 Year Old Locomotives Smoking Like Chimneys! C Vision Productions 2023-02-24 | In this video, C. Vision Productions takes you on a tour of the Minnesota Commercial Railway. Operating over 150 route miles, the Minnesota Commercial serves customers on an extensive network of rail lines in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The railroad operates on lines formerly owned by the Minnesota Transfer Railway Company, in addition to trackage leased from BNSF and Canadian Pacific. Prior to the PTC mandate, the railroad utilized trackage rights over Union Pacific rails to reach Bayport, Minnesota. C. Vision’s cameras follow five local switch jobs, along with some yard switching and transfer runs at the MNNR’s Midway Yard. First we’ll follow the Hugo Job, operating on former Minnesota Transfer and Northern Pacific trackage. Next, we’ll catch the Belt Job as it performs its duties with the railroad’s only B36-7 in charge. You’ll see the Hiawatha Job operating on former Milwaukee Road rails, with a cab ride on B23-7 1982 also included. The Hiawatha Milling District was documented on this run, with footage from in the cab, as well as trackside. After that, we’ll head east to capture the Bayport Job operating over trackage rights on the Union Pacific’s Altoona Subdivision and Stillwater Industrial Lead. Minnesota Commercial’s CF7 484 is right at home on this job, as it carries the name “City of Bayport”. Finally, we check out some switching operations in and around Midway Yard. The Minnesota Commercial is truly unique as it operates with second generation Dash 7 General Electric locomotives, including models C30-7, B23-7, B30-7, and B36-7. A former Santa Fe SF30C is also seen in service. If you are an Alco fan, this railroad has a treat for you! You will see one of the last two Alco RS27 locomotives in existence, MNNR 316, as the unit smokes it up on the Hennepin Job. We were also fortunate to capture MNNR 313, an Alco C424, teamed up with a slug working the Commercial’s afternoon top end job in Midway Yard. Other interesting locomotives that appear in this video include a former Canadian National M420, and a former Santa Fe CF7. If you enjoyed this video, check out more C.

Vision Productions returns to the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern to document the railroad's operations between Waseca, Minnesota and Lake Benton, Minnesota. We’ll follow trains across 150 miles of DM&E’s mainline, with coverage provided of the Tracy Subdivision and Huron Subdivision. This former C&NW route travels through the small towns and rich farm fields of southern Minnesota, with many points of interest found along the way. This show chronicles EMD's finest, as they power across the railroad with heavy trains of grain, ethanol, and bentonite. Locomotives from DM&E, IC&E, CP, SOO, STLH, CITX, and CEFX are all seen in operation, with models SD40, SD40-2, SD60, GP40, and GP38 handling the majority of assignments. We were fortunate to capture two plow trains during the winter of 2009-2010, as DM&E’s Jordan Spreaders were busy clearing the mainline of deep snow following multiple winter storms. Footage for this show was captured between 2005 and 2012, with re-editing completed in February of 2023.Links to more videos that may interest you can be found below:Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Vol. 1, The East End: SD40-2 Marathon - FULL VIDEO (2012)youtu.be/JiPJ58X3IdARapid City, Pierre & Eastern FULL VIDEO - RCPE SD40-2 Locomotives (2016)youtu.be/7ugEhjtXUK0Wisconsin Central, Vol. 1 - Featuring WC SD45, SDL39, GP35, GP40, and SW1500 Locomotivesyoutu.be/2Hp7fTZadrkCanadian Pacific, Soo Line, and I&M Rail Link Along the Mighty Mississippi - FULL VIDEO (2002)youtu.be/fnVSaTezBfcD&I Railroad (DAIR): Dakota & Iowa EMDs in Siouxlandyoutu.be/J28gHKsn7KUArizona & California Railroad in the Sonoran and Mojave Deserts: 30 Years of ARZCyoutu.be/yHDtmtU8Wqw
Wisconsin Central, Vol. 1 - Featuring WC SD45, SDL39, GP35, GP40, and SW1500 Locomotives C Vision Productions 2023-01-28 | In this video, C. Vision Productions takes you back to 1991 to experience classic railroad action on the Wisconsin Central from the camera of Dan Hadley. We'll see trains on WC's Chicago, Superior, Minneapolis, Bradley, Pembine, and Soo Subs. In addition to train operations, we'll get an inside look at the railroad's Customer Service Center and dispatching office in Stevens Point. After that, we fast forward to 2002 to view a few trains shortly after the CN takeover of Wisconsin Central. We'll begin our coverage of the WC on the Chicago Sub south of Fond du Lac. This section of track is home to the well-known Byron Hill. Next, we take a journey along the original Soo Line main to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. The Bradley, Pembine, and Soo Subs are all covered in this segment. We then cover the Superior and Minneapolis Subs before heading to Stevens Point. To round out our show, we see a few trains in the Canadian National era on the Whitehall, Superior, and Valley Subs. WC's SD45 fleet looks and sounds great, with the locomotives wearing both Burlington Northern green and WC maroon and gold. Other locomotive models seen include GP35, GP35M, GP38-2, GP40, SW1500, and the rare SDL39 units.Copyright 1991/2002, Dan Hadley and C. Vision ProductionsTo see more of what C.

Arizona & California Railroad in the Sonoran and Mojave Deserts: 30 Years of ARZC C Vision Productions 2023-01-05 | In this video, C. Vision Productions takes you to the Sonoran and Mojave deserts to view train operations on the Arizona & California Railroad. We document the railroad's mainline from one end to the other, with coverage over 30 years between 1992 and 2022. We'll see ARZC trains powered by classic EMD locomotives grinding up mountain grades, racing through the desert, and performing a little switching along the way. Rebuilt SD45s and SD45-2s wearing the attractive Arizona & California paint scheme were our primary focus in this production, with a supporting cast of GP38s, rebuilt GP20s, and RCPE SD40-2s also featured. Other visitors include CEFX SD40M-2s, MRL GP19-1 151, and a pair of BNSF road units. Genesee & Wyoming colors appear in this program as well, as many of the long-term ARZC locomotives received fresh coats of G&W orange in recent years. Arizona & California’s mainline travels through beautiful desert country for most of its length, with magnificent mountain landscapes visible along much of the route. The railroad encounters a true mountain pass between Harcuvar and Vicksburg, Arizona, known as Granite Wash Pass. This steep 1.6% grade is where battles are fought and won by ARZC crews, and is where our coverage of the railroad begins. From Granite Wash Pass, we’ll head east to the BNSF interchange at Castle Hot Springs, located on BNSF’s Phoenix Subdivision. Commonly referred to as the “Peavine”, this route accommodates the interchange of trains between BNSF and ARZC. After our coverage of the Peavine concludes, our focus shifts back to Arizona & California’s mainline. On our westward journey, we’ll visit the railroad’s home base of Parker, Arizona, before crossing the Colorado River into California. From there, we’ll head into the Mojave Desert on our journey to Cadiz. We’ll pass through several ghost towns as we explore the desolate west end of the railroad, all with fascinating histories. Once we arrive in Cadiz, the Arizona & California is seen interchanging freight with the Santa Fe. During the interchange process, a high-stepping eastbound hotshot passes by on the mainline powered by a quartet of ATSF EMDs. Mountains, wide open desert, unique small towns, and of course, classic locomotives operating on a unique shortline railroad. It’s all here for you to enjoy in this C. Vision video presentation.

Rails Through the North Country: LS&I, WC, E&LS, Michigan Limestone Operations (2003) C Vision Productions 2022-12-15 | In this video, C. Vision takes you to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and northeast Wisconsin to view railroad operations of the Lake Superior & Ishpeming, Wisconsin Central (Canadian National), Escanaba & Lake Superior, and Michigan Limestone Operations. We cover the LS&I across their entire system, with GE U30C and C30-7 locomotives handling heavy trains of taconite pellets between the Empire and Tilden mines and the ore docks in Marquette, Michigan. The CN’s Wisconsin Central accesses the area on their network of former SOO, CNW, and DSS&A trackage. We’ll see WC taconite trains, locals, and switch jobs with an interesting mix of power in Wisconsin Central and Canadian National paint. Next, we’ll move over to the Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad to document their mainline operations between Channing, Michigan and Crivitz, Wisconsin. At the time of production, the E&LS was leasing two classic locomotives from the Lake Superior Railroad Museum. LTV 4211 (EMD F9) and SOO 700 (GP30) put on a fantastic show for our cameras, as we follow them along the railroad’s former Milwaukee Road trackage. As a special treat, we’ll climb aboard LTV 4211 for a cab ride between Crivitz and Pembine. Before we leave the E&LS, we head over to Escanaba to see ELS 300, a rare Baldwin RS-12, as it completes switching chores around Escanaba and Wells. To close out our show, we visit Michigan Limestone Operations to view Chicago & Illinois Midland SD20s hauling shuttle trains of limestone between the Port Inland Quarry and the crusher on Lake Michigan. We were not disappointed, as railroad operations were in high gear while we toured the property.

Classic BNSF: Along the Route of the Milwaukee Road Vol. 2 - The Gateway to “Lines West” C Vision Productions 2022-12-04 | In this video, we'll cover BNSF's former Milwaukee Road mainline between Aberdeen, South Dakota and Terry, Montana, with extended coverage to Miles City, Montana. This trackage was part of the Milwaukee Road’s Pacific Extension, and is currently the last significant mainline segment of this route still in operation. Our show begins in Aberdeen, where we’ll begin the westward trek across the Mobridge Subdivision and Hettinger Subdivision, through the states of South Dakota, North Dakota, and Montana. Along the way, we’ll see a great variety of BNSF trains, powered by locomotives both old and new. BNSF’s SD40-2 fleet could still be found on the high iron in the railroad’s early days, and we’ll see plenty of these units powering general merchandise trains across the territory. SD70MAC and SD70ACe locomotives handled most coal trains seen in this video, with BNSF’s GE fleet commonly found on the route’s shuttle grain trains. Locomotive models SD60, SD60M, B40-8, SD70M, GP60, GP38-2, GP39V, and SD45 also appear in this video, either leading trains, or trailing in the consist. Scenic highlights include the Missouri River crossing in Mobridge, the Little Missouri Badlands at Marmarth, and the Yellowstone River Valley between Bluffport and Miles City. This video captured a transitional era on BNSF, with older locomotives and infrastructure gradually being phased out in favor of modern alternatives. Come along with C. Vision Productions, as we explore this historic route during a colorful period in American railroading.

Union Pacific and C&NW in the Black Hills of South Dakota (1996) C Vision Productions 2022-11-19 | This is C. Vision's 1996 full-length video release covering Union Pacific, C&NW, and DM&E in the Black Hills of South Dakota during the colorful era of mid-1990s railroading. Union Pacific's operations on the Colony Line lasted just over one year, from April of 1995, to May of 1996. This video chronicles that very short-lived and rarely documented period of Union Pacific ownership of the Colony Line following the C&NW merger. Locomotives from Union Pacific, Chicago & North Western, and Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern all appear in this video, with SD40-2s being the locomotive of choice for all three railroads. These classic EMDs put on a great show, as they power heavy trains of bentonite over the steep grades along the Black Hills between Colony, Wyoming and Oelrichs, South Dakota. Along the way, we'll visit many of the popular locations, including Belle Fourche, Sturgis, and Rapid City. Enjoy the video!Copyright 1996, C.

Classic BNSF: Along the Route of the Milwaukee Road Vol. 1 - Mainline and South Dakota Core Lines C Vision Productions 2022-11-10 | In this video, we'll cover BNSF's former Milwaukee Road mainline in western Minnesota and eastern South Dakota, with extended coverage over the former Great Northern between Willmar, Minnesota and Appleton, Minnesota. In addition to the Milwaukee mainline, we'll also cover the BNSF Core Lines between Sioux City, Iowa and Aberdeen, South Dakota, with brief coverage of the Mitchell Subdivision between Mitchell, South Dakota and Canton, South Dakota. This video was produced when most of the Milwaukee main was still laid with jointed rail, giving the viewer a nice sound show as trains pound along at track speed. Classic EMD power was found on most trains, with SD40-2s being the most common locomotive seen throughout the video. Oddball locomotives such as BNSF's only operating SDP40, a couple SD45-2s, and several SD9s all make appearances in this program. MRL SD45s and SD40-2XRs show up on several BNSF trains, adding to the variety. The Twin Cities & Western was also captured by our cameras, with classic Caterpillar and EMD “geeps” in charge. This program comprises segments of both videos covering this territory that were released on DVD in 2009, with updating and re-editing completed in November of 2022. Thank you for watching!

Chicago and North Western’s Western Division, The Cowboy Lines - FULL VIDEO (1993) C Vision Productions 2022-10-28 | C. Vision Productions explores the Western Division of the Chicago and North Western, during the railroad’s final years of existence. C&NW’s Cowboy Line and Colony Line are covered extensively in this program, with additional coverage of the railroad’s coal operations based in South Morrill, Nebraska. You will see historic footage of the Cowboy Line between Norfolk, Nebraska and Chadron, Nebraska, including the last train before the line’s abandonment. As a special treat, we were invited aboard CNW 6848 for the final journey across the Cowboy Line on December 1, 1992. Next, we head for the Chicago and North Western’s coal line to document CNW C40-8s and SD60s handling a steady flow of black diamonds out of the Powder River Basin. Coverage of CNW’s Powder River Sub, the CNW/BN Joint Line, and behind-the-scenes footage of the South Morrill operations center are featured in this portion of the video. We then return to the Cowboy Line to document operations between Chadron and Crawford, Nebraska. In Crawford, you’ll witness a live interchange between the Burlington Northern and C&NW, with both crews exchanging traffic and returning back to their home terminals. Last, we’ll cover the Colony Line between Dakota Junction, Nebraska and Belle Fourche, South Dakota. This line follows the eastern edge of the beautiful Black Hills, and is surely a C. Vision favorite. We’ll hop aboard CNW 5529 as our train heads north on the Rapid City Sub, towards the subdivision’s namesake. In addition to the cab ride, a great variety of trains are seen as we continue north along the Colony Line. We’ll see CNW GP40s, GP50s, SD40-2s, and even a stray SD50, powering trains over the many steep grades of the Rapid City Sub. Relive the memories of Chicago and North Western’s Western Division, in this full-length video presentation.Copyright 1993, C.

Ancient GP9 and SD9 Locomotives on Columbia Basin Railroad (CBRW) and St. Maries River RR (STMA) C Vision Productions 2022-10-19 | In this video, we'll cover two unique shortline railroads in the northwestern United States operating with first-generation EMD power. The St. Maries River Railroad (STMA) and Columbia Basin Railroad (CBRW) employ GP9 and SD9 locomotives to operate their trains, with many of these units at or beyond their 65th year of service as of 2022. We'll begin our coverage in Idaho on the St. Maries River Railroad. We'll follow the railroad's Plummer turn headed west to the Union Pacific interchange, in Plummer, Idaho. The STMA began operations following the abandonment of the Milwaukee Road's Pacific Extension in 1980, with the railroad preserving rail service on the Milwaukee's mainline between St. Maries and Plummer. Highlights include Benewah Lake and Pedee Trestle, with STMA 103 seen working upgrade towards Plummer with a heavy train of forest products from the Potlatch mill in St. Maries. We also catch the Union Pacific local departing Plummer for its return trip to Spokane. From there, we head to Warden, Washington to document the operations of the Columbia Basin Railroad, operating on former Burlington Northern trackage. We'll cover the railroad north to Wheeler (near Moses Lake, Washington), and south to Connell, Washington. CBRW's SD9 and GP9 fleet is put to good use, as they handle some sizable trains across the arid Eastern Washington landscape. Locomotives of MRL, DMIR, and BN heritage handle most of the trains seen in this portion of the video, with a majority of these units wearing Columbia Basin's attractive red, white, and black paint scheme. We hope you enjoy this look at some of the most interesting shortline operations in the Northwest, in "Ancient GP9 and SD9 Locomotives on Columbia Basin Railroad (CBRW) and St. Maries River RR (STMA)"Other videos that you may find interesting:Central Montana Railroad: Shortline Survivor - GP9 and GP30 Territoryyoutu.be/Vc6WqSivG6kNKCR: Nebraska, Kansas & Colorado Railway on the Stormy High Plainsyoutu.be/LkgjlTCMwukPort of Tillamook Bay Railroad in 2005: SD9s, Wigwags, POTB 6139 Cabride, and more!youtu.be/wYzfHhl6gqkWhere Did MRL's SD35 Fleet Go?

BNSFs Northern Transcon in Minnesota: The Staples Subdivision - FULL VIDEO (2003) C Vision Productions 2022-10-07 | In this production, C. Vision takes you back to the early days of BNSF while we explore the east end of BNSF's Staples Subdivision, between Staples, Minnesota and Northtown Yard in the Twin Cities. A wide variety of trains and locomotives are seen in this program, with footage captured between the late 1990s and early 2000s. From older SD40-2s and C30-7s to brand-new GE Dash 9-44CW locomotives, this video documents a colorful era in BNSF's motive power history. Locomotives from BN, BNSF, ATSF, EMD (former Oakway SD60s), LRCX, HLCX, MRL, and LMX are all seen powering trains across the Staples Sub. Our cameras spend time in Staples, Little Falls, St. Cloud, Becker (home of NSP’s coal-fired power plant), Big Lake, Elk River, Anoka, Coon Rapids (Coon Creek), and Fridley (Northtown Yard). In addition, we visit many smaller communities and points of interest along the route. We also catch a very special move on the branch between Little Falls and Camp Ripley, with BNSF 2306 powering a military train headed for the training camp. Locations and trains are identified using on-screen graphics, with origination, destination, and train type included with the train symbols. Enjoy fast trains traveling across a very efficient piece of BNSF's Northern Transcon, in this C.

Iowa, Chicago & Eastern Railroad: The Original IC&E Video - FULL VIDEO (2005) C Vision Productions 2022-09-27 | In this full-length video release from C. Vision, we document the Iowa, Chicago & Eastern Railroad (IC&E) between the years of 2002 and 2004. You'll see the birth of a regional railroad, as the carrier gains strength after taking over operations from the I&M Rail Link. The IC&E operated with a fascinating collection of first and second-generation EMD locomotives, with many GP9s, SD9s, SD40s, and SD45s included in the sale from IMRL. In addition to the former I&M Rail Link power, the railroad operated a large fleet of leased FURX SD40-2s, with the units still wearing Burlington Northern green and BNSF orange. Slowly, these units were replaced with overhauled SD40-2s of Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific, MKT, CNW, and BC Rail heritage.We showcase IC&E's entire system across former Milwaukee Road and Rock Island trackage in the states of Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, and Missouri. You’ll see branch line locals, mainline freight trains, grain trains, as well as cameo appearances by Progressive Rail, Canadian Pacific’s Soo Line, Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern, and the Milwaukee Road 261. The "Kansas City line", "River line", and "Corn Lines" are all covered in depth, with extended coverage over CP's River Sub into the Twin Cities, and ICE/UP joint track into Kansas City. We visit Nahant Yard, Davenport, Sabula, Savanna, Dubuque, Marquette, Mason City, Austin, and Kansas City, with a great variety of intermediate locations covered in between.We hope you enjoy the video, and if you do, please give it a like, make a comment, share it with your friends, and subscribe if you haven't already.

A Fateful Day on CNs Iron Range Sub C Vision Productions 2022-09-09 | In this video, we'll document railroad operations on Canadian National's former DM&IR lines, with a brief appearance by two BNSF local freights. We begin our coverage with scenes captured on September 30, 2010. This day will be remembered for the head-on collision that occurred just south of Highland siding on CN's Iron Range Subdivision. This wreck resulted in the retirement of all six locomotives involved, as well as many of the ore cars on both trains. The ill-fated southbound U78982 train was followed between Ramshaw and Rollins, as it advanced towards Highland for a meet with northbound train U78983 out of Two Harbors. We left the U78982 train at Rollins and never made an attempt to see the U78983 train, as we decided to continue back towards the Iron Range to document trains on the Missabe Subdivision. After we complete our coverage of the former DMIR, we'll glimpse a little BNSF action on the Lakes Subdivision, with the Grand Rapids turn job seen hiballing through Floodwood. Next, we’ll head to Hibbing to see BNSF’s Kelly Lake Local passing several pairs of Griswold crossing signals on a snowy afternoon. As an added bonus, we'll include a few scenes of DM&IR ore trains from October of 2004. Both trains included in this segment are powered by maroon and gold tunnel motors.Locomotives that were wrecked at Highland and retired:DMIR 401IC 6257IC 6258IC 6259IC 6262IC 6265The NTSB report on the collision is worth reading and can be found here:ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Reports/RAR1301.pdfIf you want to see more content like this, be sure to like, comment, subscribe, and share!

Otter Tail Valley Railroad: High Hood GP9 and GP18 Locomotives on Jointed Rail! C Vision Productions 2022-09-01 | This presentation takes us back to 2007 in West Central Minnesota to see the operations of the Otter Tail Valley Railroad. Owned at the time by RailAmerica, this railroad was well known for its use of high hood EMD “geeps”. The two featured in our video are MNN 1483, which is an ex Nickel Plate GP9, and OTVR 192, which is a former Southern Railway GP18. Both are painted in the attractive silver, red, and blue RailAmerica paint scheme. C. Vision covers operations on the entire length of Otter Tail Valley’s mainline from Fergus Falls to Moorhead, Minnesota. We catch the train cruising the high iron, working local industries, and interchanging freight with the BNSF in Dilworth, Minnesota. We will also get a chance to watch a few BNSF trains while the OTVR crew completes their interchange work in Dilworth.

Progressive Rail Minnesota Operations: SD38-2, SD39, and SW1500 Locomotives - FULL VIDEO (2005) C Vision Productions 2022-08-16 | In this C. Vision video presentation, we feature the Progressive Rail's Minnesota operations in 2005. This era of the PGR is remembered as one of its most interesting, with a variety of classic EMD locomotives adorned in Minneapolis, Northfield and Southern colors handling a majority of the assignments. We begin our coverage with Progressive Rail's Dan Patch Line between Northfield and Lakeville, Minnesota. The railroad assigned PGR 40 (SD39) and PGR 42 (SD38-2) to this operation during the time of production. We follow two sizable Progressive Rail trains over this portion of the former MN&S mainline, with the pair of six-axle units put to good use on the line's undulating profile. In between the northbound and southbound trips, we view some switching in Lakeville at the Airlake Industrial Park, and bring you a special tour of PGR's unique rail warehouse and transload facility. We also include two scenes of CP's Northfield to Lakeville turn, documented shortly before this operation was handed over to PGR. Next, our coverage shifts to the former Chicago Great Western (CGW) line east out of Northfield, to Randolph, Minnesota. We follow PGR's Randolph train in both directions over this branch, with one of PGR's Hancock Air Whistle-equipped SW1500s handling this run. We also see the crew performing a little switching in Randolph before turning back to Northfield. Next, we take a cab ride on PGR's job to Faribault aboard one of Progressive Rail's former MN&S SW1500s, PGR 37. We'll head south over Union Pacific's Spine Line (former Milwaukee Road/Rock Island joint track) between Northfield and Comus, then over IC&E rails into Faribault. Upon arrival in Faribault, we negotiate spindly industrial trackage and switch Faribault Foods before heading back north. We then move up to PGR's operations between Rosemount and Eagan, Minnesota over former Milwaukee Road trackage, known as the "Eagandale line". As with the previous segments, we see several run-bys, as well as some switching, with a surprise appearance by a well-known father and son railfan team. To complete our coverage, we’ll tour the former MN&S High Line in Bloomington and Richfield, Minnesota, with another classy former MN&S SW1500 documented here.Copyright 2005, C.

Black Hills SD40-2 Cab Ride: Chicago & North Western Colony Line - FULL VIDEO (1994) C Vision Productions 2022-08-10 | In this video, we take a cab ride on CNW SD40-2 6814, as our train travels between Belle Fourche and Rapid City, South Dakota, along the beautiful Black Hills. With footage captured in 1994, this video brings you back to the historic final years of the Chicago & North Western, shortly before the merger with Union Pacific in 1995, and the sale of the west end lines to the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern in 1996. In the first half of the trip, we'll pass through St. Onge, do a little work in Whitewood, and travel through the well-known community of Sturgis, where our train starts up a steep 1.5% grade to climb out of town. From there, the tracks stay close to Interstate 90, as our train passes Tilford, Piedmont, and Blackhawk, before arriving in Rapid City. We also include an uninterrupted view of Rapid City as our train slowly passes through the city, and over the many grade crossings before arriving at the C&NW's yard on the south side of town. During the trip, our speed varies between 10 and 40 mph, as we work up and down many steep grades along the line. Engineer Bill Neary expertly handles the train, constantly transitioning between power and heavy dynamic brakes, with some air thrown in, to control our speed over this challenging piece of territory. Enjoy the ride!Copyright 1994, C. Vision ProductionsThanks for watching!

Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Vol. 1, The East End: SD40-2 Marathon - FULL VIDEO (2012) C Vision Productions 2022-08-03 | This is C. Vision's full video covering Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern's east end, between Winona, Minnesota and Waseca, Minnesota, with additional coverage of DM&E trains over the IC&E Owatonna Subdivision, and Union Pacific's Albert Lea Subdivision. SD40 and SD40-2 locomotives are seen operating in a multitude of paint schemes, with ICE, DME, CP, STL&H, and CITX units appearing throughout the video. DM&E GP40 and GP38-3 locomotives are also documented on several local freights and road trains, as well as a special passenger train operated for DM&E shippers and their families.Beginning in Winona, we take a quick look back to the 1990s, as a CP crew works at Tower CK with a pair of SOO GP15C Caterpillar locomotives. Next, the DM&E gets into the act with a "west train" powered by SD9s and an SD40-3. From there, we head west across the Waseca Subdivision as it works its way out of the Mississippi River Valley, and up the steep 1.7% grade between Stockton and Lewiston. From there, the tracks make their way through farm fields and small towns, as the route traverses the rolling countryside of southeastern Minnesota. We visit Rochester, see trains climbing Byron Hill east of Byron, Minnesota, and explore several other points of interest before arriving in Owatonna. From Owatonna, we'll take a side trip over former Milwaukee Road rails, as we follow the Owatonna Sub to Austin, Minnesota and Mason City, Iowa. On this line, you'll enjoy the rhythm of 90-pound jointed rail, as heavy trains pound along at decent speeds. We then see a northbound Mason City to Waseca freight sprinting north on UP's Spine Line, and taking the junction at Curtis to connect to the Hartland Subdivision for the trip to Waseca. From there, we cover the final miles of the Waseca Sub between Owatonna and Waseca.As seen in the thumbnail, DM&E and IC&E still employed several classic Griswold crossing signals at the time of production. Shortly before they were removed from service, we captured two pairs of these signals still equipped with rotating stop signs.This was an exciting time on the DM&E, as the railroad was revitalized with track improvements and new traffic in the years leading up to the purchase by Canadian Pacific. Our coverage spans between 1996 and 2011, with most scenes documented shortly before and after the CP takeover.Thank you to all who helped with the production of this program.Original music provided by Erik Shicotte.Check out our other videos below:Burlington Northern’s Hi Line in Montana: Autumn on Marias Pass:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uDo1PvSrVGkClassic BNSF Railway: Volume 2 of Crossing The Cornbelt - FULL VIDEO (1998):https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2rqcJK7DUfoMontana Rail Link SD45 Renaissance Vol. 1, The East End - FULL VIDEO (2016):https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=reRpteUo1D0Montana Rail Link Vol. 2, The West End - Updated FULL VIDEO (2016):https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qqkYMo2TEQAMontana Rail Link Vol. 3, The Final Countdown: GP9, SD40-2XR, and SD45 Locomotives:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G_7bn1HCtJYA Tribute to the Soo Line - FULL VIDEO (2000): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aA3rCBiVVJwNebkota Railway F Units and BN C30-7’s on Crawford Hill in Nebraska:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zOgeV9SXY70Rapid City, Pierre & Eastern FULL VIDEO - RCPE SD40-2 Locomotives (2016):https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7ugEhjtXUK0DMVW SD45 Locomotives:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TXEuCr4zDOoWyoming Coal Trains - FULL VIDEO (1995):https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cwM8KsMh0u8Sisseton Milbank Railroad (SMRR) - South Dakota Shortline Survivor: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-_UB82mquzgSD40-2 Stronghold: EMD Locomotives in Minnesota’s Iron Ore Country FULL VIDEO (2018):https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kvaEVuFQlhUClassic BNSF Railway: Crossing The Cornbelt, The Marshall Subdivision - FULL VIDEO (1997):https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vFTnF2PtYKoTrona Railway in the Mojave Desert: EMD SD40-2, SD40T-2, and Baldwin AS-616 Locomotives:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hkwck9cSRHoBNSF Branch Line Covered in Weeds - Large FIRE Encountered By Train Crew:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PZZJ_C2Bh2AWhere did MRL's SD35 Fleet Go?

Burlington Northern’s Hi Line in Montana: Autumn on Marias Pass C Vision Productions 2022-07-23 | In this video, we cover Burlington Northern operations between Whitefish and Browning, Montana in the early 1990s, with footage supplied to C. Vision Productions by talented videographer Dan Hadley. This scenic section of the former Great Northern mainline includes Marias Pass and Glacier Park, providing us with many beautiful locations to view the action. Beginning in Whitefish, we'll follow the route east, over Marias Pass and the Continental Divide, eventually leading to the wide open plains east of the mountains. Burlington Northern freight trains, intermodal trains, grain trains, work trains, and helpers, are all seen working their way over this territory. BN locomotive models SD40, SD40-2, GP50, GP40-2, GP38-2, and B30-7AB appear frequently throughout the video, giving us a great variety of motive power to showcase for you. LMX GE B39-8E locomotives were also quite common during the production period, with several of these units documented powering intermodal and general freight trains. Santa Fe SD40-2 and SD45-2 locomotives make a few pre-merger appearances in this video as well, adding a little extra color to several of the locomotive consists that pass by Mr. Hadley’s camera. Amtrak’s Empire Builder is seen a few times as it passes through the area, with classic F40PH locomotives in charge. Tunnels, high bridges, breathtaking mountain landscapes, along with train after train of Cascade Green nostalgia, can be found in this C. Vision video presentation.

Classic BNSF Railway: Volume 2 of Crossing The Cornbelt - FULL VIDEO (1998) C Vision Productions 2022-07-10 | This is C. Vision's 1998 full-length video release covering BNSF's Marshall Subdivision between Sioux City, Iowa and Willmar, Minnesota, with extended coverage over the Wayzata Subdivision to Northtown Yard in the Twin Cities. In addition to the mainline coverage, we'll revisit the Corson Subdivision between Garretson and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The Canton Subdivision is briefly covered as well, with a local freight captured on a trip to Harrisburg, SD. Manifest freights, grain trains, coal trains, locals, and even a taconite train, are seen traversing the rolling terrain of Iowa, South Dakota, and Minnesota. This was an exciting era on BNSF, and you'll see classic EMD and GE power in a kaleidoscope of different paint schemes. SD40-2s and GP38/39 variants rule the video, but plenty of other exotic models are captured, including GP9, GP20, GP30, SD45B, SF30C, B23-7, and C30-7. Leslie RS3K and Prime PM990 air horns are heard throughout the video on Burlington Northern locomotives, making for some easy listening as we tour the line. The Illinois Central makes a brief appearance at Wren Tower as well, with an IC GP10 leading the way. This program is the sequel to our first “Crossing The Cornbelt” video, and features many new trains and locations that were not seen in Volume 1.

Union Pacifics New Prague Local on M&StL Trackage C Vision Productions 2022-06-26 | In this video, C. Vision Productions visits Union Pacific’s Montgomery Subdivision in Minnesota, with coverage along the entire line, between Merriam and Montgomery. This is former C&NW trackage that once belonged to the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway. On this day, we followed the “New Prague Job” as they made their rounds on an August day in 2013. Powering the train was a former Southern Pacific GP40-2, UP 1416. We first see the train heading north to Merriam in the early morning with loads from the previous day. At Merriam, the crew yards their train and turns back south towards New Prague. Upon arriving in New Prague, the train is seen switching ConAgra Mills, before continuing south to Montgomery to service Seneca Foods. After working Seneca Foods, the crew heads north to New Prague to complete their day. The Montgomery Sub is a remnant of the M&StL mainline south of the Twin Cities, with 30 mph jointed rail still in place at the time of production on much of the line.Check out our other videos below!Rare Views of CP Industrial Switching: MP15AC Locomotives on CP’s Camden Job - SOO 1540 & CP 1404:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1jbUJWLXapIMidwest Photo Freights: Classic Alco & EMD Locomotives - Vintage Freight Cars - FULL VIDEO:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg41A08DhTMA Tribute to the Soo Line - FULL VIDEO (2000): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aA3rCBiVVJwMontana Rail Link Vol. 3, The Final Countdown: GP9, SD40-2XR, and SD45 Locomotives:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G_7bn1HCtJYChicago & North Western Final GE Trio and SD40-2 Locomotives (2002-2006):https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lOER85qM2zkNebkota Railway F Units and BN C30-7’s on Crawford Hill in Nebraska:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zOgeV9SXY70Sisseton Milbank Railroad (SMRR) - South Dakota Shortline Survivor: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-_UB82mquzgSD40-2 Stronghold: EMD Locomotives in Minnesota’s Iron Ore Country FULL VIDEO (2018):https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kvaEVuFQlhURock & Rail Activity on the Tennessee Pass Line in Colorado:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2qJLgdXekFwClassic BNSF Railway: Crossing The Cornbelt, The Marshall Subdivision - FULL VIDEO (1997):https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vFTnF2PtYKoTrona Railway in the Mojave Desert: EMD SD40-2, SD40T-2, and Baldwin AS-616 Locomotives:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hkwck9cSRHoIllinois Central Railroad: GP40, SD40, SD40A, SD40-2, SD40-3, and SD70 Locomotives in the Midwest:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ty4f7zu_rIEBNSF Hinckley Subdivision in 1998-1999. 4 Class 1 Railroads!

Rare Views of CP Industrial Switching: MP15AC Locomotives on CP’s Camden Job - SOO 1540 & CP 1404 C Vision Productions 2022-06-15 | C. Vision Productions takes you back to July of 2012 to view CP’s HH21 Camden Job in Minnesota as the crew works on the north side of Minneapolis along the former Soo Line passenger main, commonly known as the “Camden Line”. The train was powered by two classic EMD MP15AC locomotives, SOO 1540 (former Milwaukee Road bandit), and CP 1404. We’ll follow them throughout the evening as they switch industries across the entire line, including Alliance Steel Service, Re-Alliance Iron & Metal, Northern Metal Recycling, the Star Tribune, GAF, and Lakes Gas. The experienced crew makes quick work of their assigned switching, and is heading back to Humboldt before the sun sets. These locomotives no longer work for Canadian Pacific, but they are here for you to enjoy in this C. Vision video presentation.More videos for your enjoyment:Midwest Photo Freights: Classic Alco & EMD Locomotives - Vintage Freight Cars - FULL VIDEO:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg41A08DhTMA Tribute to the Soo Line - FULL VIDEO (2000): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aA3rCBiVVJwMontana Rail Link Vol. 3, The Final Countdown: GP9, SD40-2XR, and SD45 Locomotives:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G_7bn1HCtJYChicago & North Western Final GE Trio and SD40-2 Locomotives (2002-2006):https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lOER85qM2zkNebkota Railway F Units and BN C30-7’s on Crawford Hill in Nebraska:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zOgeV9SXY70Sisseton Milbank Railroad (SMRR) - South Dakota Shortline Survivor: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-_UB82mquzgSD40-2 Stronghold: EMD Locomotives in Minnesota’s Iron Ore Country FULL VIDEO (2018):https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kvaEVuFQlhURock & Rail Activity on the Tennessee Pass Line in Colorado:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2qJLgdXekFwClassic BNSF Railway: Crossing The Cornbelt, The Marshall Subdivision - FULL VIDEO (1997):https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vFTnF2PtYKoTrona Railway in the Mojave Desert: EMD SD40-2, SD40T-2, and Baldwin AS-616 Locomotives:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hkwck9cSRHoIllinois Central Railroad: GP40, SD40, SD40A, SD40-2, SD40-3, and SD70 Locomotives in the Midwest:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ty4f7zu_rIEBNSF Hinckley Subdivision in 1998-1999. 4 Class 1 Railroads!

A Tribute to the Soo Line - FULL VIDEO (2000) C Vision Productions 2022-05-13 | This is C. Vision’s full video covering Soo Line locomotives leading trains in Minnesota across CP’s former SOO and Milwaukee Road mainlines. Various SOO locomotives are seen in service, including models SD40, SD40-2, SD60, SD60M, GP38-2, GP40, and MP15AC. At the time of production, most of the 700-series SD40s and SD40-2s were working their final miles for CP, with many removed from service and retired around the year 2000. We travel east from Glenwood, Minnesota, through the Twin Cities, to La Crescent, Minnesota. This takes us across CP’s Paynesville and River Subdivisions, along with a glimpse of the Merriam Park Subdivision and BNSF’s St. Paul Subdivision at Hoffman Avenue in St. Paul. We close out the show with a scene on CP’s former MN&S Savage Spur between Northfield and Lakeville, Minnesota. We hope you enjoy our coverage of this revered fallen flag railroad.

Nebkota Railway F Units and BN C30-7s on Crawford Hill in Nebraska C Vision Productions 2022-04-13 | Let’s go back in time to 1998 in the Panhandle of Nebraska. It is in the Pine Ridge region that we see operations on the former Chicago and North Western Cowboy Line. After the CNW abandoned the segment between Long Pine and Chadron, a portion of the line from Merriman to Chadron was revived and operated by Nebkota Railway. What made this railroad special was its use of an A-B-A set of F units. The fun was only short lived however, as the Nebkota sold the locomotives to the Canadian Pacific for use on their executive trains a year later. We get a chance to view these classics from in the cab and trackside as they navigate the sand hills country of western Nebraska. Shortly after, we headed over to Crawford Hill to catch a few trains being led with the soon to be retired GE C30-7’s. These heavy trains are captured with SD40-2 helper sets as they grind up the 2.2% grade of the hill.Great trains, awesome scenery and the sights and sounds of Sandpipers and Western Meadowlarks give you a sense of serenity as we visit north west Nebraska.

Sisseton Milbank Railroad (SMRR) - South Dakota Shortline Survivor C Vision Productions 2022-04-07 | In this video, we cover the Sisseton Milbank Railroad between 2005 and 2021. Beginning in the predawn hours, we set out to capture "SSB1200" SMRR 561 powering a small train of loaded grain cars from Sisseton to Milbank, South Dakota. Departing Sisseton under the Strawberry Supermoon, we follow the train for 37 miles through Peever, Wilmot, and Corona, before arriving in Milbank. Much of the line is still laid with 60 and 75 pound rail, and we'll see the Sisseton Milbank safely negotiating this fragile track throughout the video. We also see the last Whetstone Valley Express passenger train operated by the Sisseton Milbank back in August of 2005. In addition to trackside views of the event, we take a cab ride aboard SMRR 561. Finally, we’ll take a quick look at BNSF and TC&W operations on the former Milwaukee Road mainline in Milbank. Although the SMRR is now owned by the Twin Cities & Western Railroad, the Sisseton Milbank image is still represented in the modern day. The spirit of the Milwaukee Road is also very much alive in this resilient little railroad, and we're sure you'll enjoy seeing operations on what was once the Milwaukee's Sisseton branch. Come along with C. Vision Productions, as we showcase this elusive South Dakota shortline.Sisseton Milbank locomotives seen:SMRR 561 (SSB1200)SMRR 627 (SW1200) You may also like...

SD40-2 Stronghold: EMD Locomotives in Minnesotas Iron Ore Country FULL VIDEO (2018) C Vision Productions 2022-03-22 | This is C. Vision's full video covering trains in Minnesota's iron ore country powered by classic EMD locomotives. SD40-2 (SD40-3), SD45T-2 (SD40T-3), SD40-2W, SD38-2, and SD70 locomotives of CN, DM&IR, IC, and B&LE ancestry are seen operating over Canadian National's former Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range system. Several straight air-equipped C40-8s are seen as well, with these units beginning to steal assignments away from older EMDs in 2018. We'll follow loaded and empty taconite trains, along with the Proctor and Two Harbors local freight trains (L593 and L594), as they make their way through the forests of northeastern Minnesota. The parade of trains to and from Minntac, Minorca, and Fairlane pellet plants is non-stop, and this video shows just how busy it was, with trains cycling between the mines and the ore docks as fast as the operation would allow. We also document BNSF local operations, with pairs of SD40-2s being the power of choice during our visits. To round out the program, we head to Silver Bay, Minnesota in search of the Northshore Mining Railroad. We were not disappointed, as NSM provided us with a great variety of trains and equipment - SD40-3 and SD90MAC locomotives are seen powering raw taconite ore and tailings trains across Northshore Mining’s mainline. We visit several popular locations, including Railfan Rock, the MP 23 overpass, and Toimi. From wildflowers to snowstorms, trains are seen in all four seasons, adding to the variety. A little wildlife is seen and heard as well, with an Osprey making an appearance at Highland, spring peeper frogs calling at Waldo, an American Goldfinch tearing apart some thistle in Two Harbors, and a turtle spending a little time out in the sun south of Mountain Iron.From the clear, cold waters of Lake Superior to the mines of the Iron Range, this video documents the unique railroad operations and the natural splendor of Minnesota’s iron ore country.

Rock & Rail Activity on the Tennessee Pass Line in Colorado C Vision Productions 2022-03-17 | C. Vision takes you to the historic Tennessee Pass line in Colorado to view Rock & Rail operations between Cotopaxi and Cañon City. We encounter two of Rock & Rail's GP40/GP40-2 locomotives handling storage cars between Parkdale and Cotopaxi, which is as far west as the railroad operates. The crew then moves east to Parkdale, where ballast hoppers are picked up for the trip to Cañon City. Although the prospects of reopening the line as a through route are very uncertain, operations continue between Pueblo and Cotopaxi on the east end, and between Gypsum and Dotsero on the west end. We hope you enjoy this look at Rock & Rail on the former Rio Grande "Royal Gorge Route". This footage was captured in January of 2021.Locomotives seen:RRRR 201 (GP40-2) ex SSW 7249RRRR 501 (GP40) ex WC 3009Roster info source: “The Diesel Shop”———————————————————Check out our other videos below!

Classic BNSF Railway: Crossing The Cornbelt, The Marshall Subdivision - FULL VIDEO (1997) C Vision Productions 2022-03-03 | This is C. Vision's 1997 full-length video release covering trains on BNSF's Marshall Subdivision between Willmar, Minnesota and Sioux City, Iowa. The video was shot immediately after the Burlington Northern Santa Fe merger, and includes an incredible variety of locomotives from Burlington Northern, Santa Fe, BNSF, leasing companies, and foreign railroads. The SD40-2 was still king of the high iron at this time, and was backed up by GP50, SD60, SD60M, C30-7, LMX B39-8E, B30-7AB, SD70MAC, and C44-9W locomotives. SD9, GP9, GP10, GP15-1, GP20, GP28M/P, GP30, GP35, GP38-2, and GP39E/V/M locomotives were also common on secondary and local assignments. Manifest freight, coal, grain, and even some taconite ore and intermodal trains made appearances during the production period. In addition to the Marshall Sub, we'll take a cab ride on BN 1597 between Sioux Falls and Garretson, South Dakota, over BNSF's Corson Subdivision. If you love 1990s railroading, BN green locomotives, and Leslie RS3K air horns, we've got you covered with this video.Copyright 1997, C.
