The Midwestern United States is home to a wide variety of different trains and railroads. Everything from fast commuter and intercity passenger trains to steam powered excursion trains can be found here. In the summer of 2024, I was able to spend several weeks documenting many different trains for various upcoming video projects. In this video, we take a look at just a sampling of some of the trains I saw in late July and early August in the states of Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, and Michigan.
