C Vision Productions | Milwaukee Road, Rock Island, CB&Q, and CGW in the 1950s - The Films of George Niles @CVisionProductions1 | Uploaded 4 months ago | Updated 1 hour ago
C. Vision Productions takes you back to the 1950s to view classic train action on the Milwaukee Road, Rock Island, CB&Q, and Chicago Great Western, captured by cinematographer George Niles. We begin by covering steam and early diesel operations on the Rock Island in and around Des Moines, Iowa. Next, we’ll view passenger and freight action on the Milwaukee Road’s Omaha main across Iowa. The impressive Des Moines River bridge west of Madrid, Iowa is featured in this segment. We also get a chance to see very rare footage of the Milwaukee's gas car passenger route between Des Moines and Spirit Lake, Iowa. Then it is off to La Crosse, Wisconsin, where George captured Milwaukee Road and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy movements, including several scenes at Grand Crossing. More CB&Q trains are seen east of La Crosse along the Mississippi River. Heading back to Iowa, our focus shifts to the Chicago Great Western in Oelwein. After our brief look at the CGW, we end the show with some brick and tile quarry operations in Redfield, Iowa.
