For over 150 years Union Pacific's transcontinental main line has played a key roll in the growth and prosperity of the nation. Since the driving of the golden spike at Promontory, Utah, the prairies of southern Wyoming have been alive with the humming of steel wheels.

7idea Productions takes you on a tour of Union Pacific's Rawlins and Laramie Subdivisions between Green River and Laramie. This rarely visited portion of the Overland Route sees over fifty trains per day. The double track main line follows the route of the Overland Stage crossing the Continental Divide three times through Wyoming's Great Divide Basin.

We will begin at historic Green River and head east for 250 miles. Watch coal being delivered to the Jim Bridger Power Plant and its origin at the Black Butte Mine. Then we cross over the Continental Divide to Wamsutter, then again at Creston and Hadsell before arriving at Rawlins. Entering the Laramie Sub, we will continue east passing the refinery at Sinclair and around the northeast side of the Medicine Bow Mountains before arriving at Laramie. This is two-and-one-half hours of great main line action over a portion of UP's original stomping grounds! Join us now as we head East to Laramie!

Just received latest 7th Idea program. Pretty much, as I expected, Great photography and scene selections. Many of this producers programs, are like a National Geographic programs, covering a area of the country, to get an idea, if one would desire to visit location. Motive power consist of mostly GE wide cabs, even though, many trains do have, SD70ace's in the lead. I counted, four trains, with SD70M's, in the lead. These units, seem to be far less, than just, five years ago. If you want to see SD90Macs, SD59MX's or the few SD60M's still left, You will need to travel to Central California, or Illinois, away from the Mainlines out West. A few Heritage units do show up in this program. The shots of Green River, Rawlings and Medicine Bow are Highlights. Overall, a relaxing program

I have purchased virtually all of 7idea's releases, and I was certainly not disappointed with this one! As always, the clarity and overall videography are superb, and Aaron utilizes excellent angles to really bring out the vastness and desolation of this area, coupled with beautiful vistas and sunsets. He covers the areas in excellent detail, with informative narration. As with all of his releases, I would highly recommend this dvd.

I am a big big big Union Pacific fan. I have always wanted to see this territory featured on a video program. This is not inherited UP but pure UP!! It�s always great to see the Overland Route in an unfamiliar area. Fantastic coverage. This producer has gotten much territory already but happily there are many many sections of track on the UP (pure or unpure) that have yet to be covered so this viewer is jumping up and down with glee anticipating these programs. Other than Canadian sections of railroad, the UP should keep this producer busy for many years to come.

i just watched an hour ago and this was an absolute amazing video that 7idea productions has blown me away east to laramie looks at union pacific's rawlins and laramie subdivisions between green river and laramie wyoming a portion of the up mainline that isn't seen as much as the other famous locations from up the first part of the video starts at green river than heading east for 250 miles first heading for the continental divide to wamsutter than at creston and hadsell than heading for rawlins into the laramie sub for the second half of the program there's lots of interesting things along the line that i liked which sees the jim bridger power plant and the black butte mine which i never thought to see in the wyoming desert over 25 trains a day pass through this line and there's all diffrent types of fright the operate over this line i don't want to try to spoil but a few of the other things i liked seeing was some of up's special intrest diesel locomotives which included up 1995 (the chicago & northwestern heritage unit) up 1989 (the denver and rio grande heritage unit) and up 1943 (the spirt of the union pacific unit on a ocs special) the video also provides a showcases of history of the cowboy state which includes railroad history and other things overall this was an incredible and vary relaxing video that one of the other reviwers said 7idea surprised me buy over two and a half hours of train action you won't want to miss in this amazing video
