The Calumet Region is the name given to the geographic areas drained by the Grand Calumet River and the Little Calumet River of northwestern Illinois and Indiana. In this region, many Chicago-destined rail lines that come from the east make a turn along with the southern edge of Lake Michigan. Several north-south lines radiating from the city cross these lines, making for a good deal of rail intersections within a very compact area. Add in all the heavy industry along the lakeshore and one can see why to this day there's such a proliferation of rail traffic in this geographical region. In volume two of our two part series we will examine rail operations of the region, within the state of Indiana. Locations include Indiana Harbor, Calumet Tower, Grasselli and Gibson. Canadian National Operations on the east end of their Matteson Subdivison are also featured at spots like Ivanhoe and Griffith and we'll close the show with a look at some moves west of Gary in the vicinity of Tolleston. Colorful scenes of railroading on this fascinating side of Chicago conclude in Calumet Rails, Volume Two from C. Vision Productions.

Calumet Rails Volume 2 DVD

I am posting this review for both Volumes in both places Trains, trains and more trains! If that's what you like you won't go wrong with this one. Little to no scenic shots. If you like the sound of steel wheels on diamonds there's a plethora of that too. Many trains going in different directions on many tracks simultaneously, that too, especially in Volume 2. Also lots of mixed motive power. The descriptive squib said that this was a busy place and were they ever right! I was a little leery of buying these two volumes (in Blue Ray) but after watching them I'm glad I did. These are my first from this producer, but I doubt they will be my last.
Additional remarks by Rail Buff: Narration:Just enough. Would kids enjoy this?I doubt it. Image quality:Excellent! DVD Value:Excellent Value! Recommend to others?Yes.

Show starts off with two ex BC Rail C40-8M Cowl units on manifest, Lots of variety of motive power in this show, plus great shots of industrial rail operations. Like Volume 1, you won't get bored. C Visions, Minnesota Train Action Bluray's feature older BNSF power, not found on other producers shows, plus older CP and UP power, along with shorelines. They are great shows.
