Progressive Rail's Dan Patch Line in Minnesota is a true success story! Over two decades of hard work, coupled with great leadership, and customer service, has brought this line back to life! The railroad operates on former MN&S track, uses classic EMD SW1500's, and are even painted in MN&S colors. These locomotives are perfect for negotiating the tight curves, rough track, and the maze of rails in industrial areas the railroad serves.
This video will follow Progressive Rails Dan Patch Line as it goes about its workday. Beginning in Bloomington, we'll see them working a large transload facility. After this, they're seen interchanging at Nesbit with the CPKC before heading towards the northern most part of the line, a cement plant. The line is rich in history, and is alive and well. This is due to the dedicated, and hardworking staff at Progressive Rail!
