In Volume 2, we will cover operations on WC's mainline from Slinger, Wisconsin north to the Fox Valley cities of Neenah and Oshkosh. Before closing, we will also take a look at a few of their operations around the Stevens Point area and will view some moves in the northern Wisconsin town of Ladysmith. In this production, viewers can look forward to more fast-paced sequences of WC trains in a variety of paint schemes, from ex-ATSF and ex-BN SD45's to the emergence of maroon and gold painted SD45's, WC-painted cowl units and run-through power from CN's haulage rights trains. Pooled power from a variety of roads can also be found, along with the appearance of CN's executive train and even some vintage footage of the Fox River Valley Railroad, prior to their takeover by the WC. We will spend a good amount of time on famed Byron Hill, where WC's southbound trains fight the hill in a battle for the summit. Head-end and rear-end helper units are even featured on some moves.
Fast freights, passenger extras, local switchers and even yard moves can all be found on A Tribute to the Wisconsin Central, Volume 2!

This the continuation of the excellent volume 1 of this WC tribute. All the good points apply for this one as well. Lots of fast freight action on a great physical plant. Highlight is very thorough coverage of the Byron Hill area.

I was pleased to receive the second volume of 'A Tribute to the Wisconsin Central'.
As before it was obvious that the guys had inside knowledge and access to the WC and that you were being shown areas you would not normally be able to see or know about, i.e. some shots from the cab and witness passing movements and some switching action.

A highlight was the consist stalling on the hill and starting again, this was made more memorable by hearing the crew talk the event through on their radio.

If I lost my copy of this DVD, would I buy a second copy?
I think that I probably would.
