C-Vision Productions are noted for their style which is limited narration and plenty of natural sound throughout the production. Scenes that are very common to us in present day. This video is not that. The 1st video of vintage railroading of a fallen flag for C-Vision. There is no real connection to current day C-Vision Productions. Filmed by Fred Crissey, this video takes us through the eastern regions of the Milwaukee Road in the 1970's. Basically, it's several locations within the system. When there is no narration, there is music playing that is very appealing and fitting to the railroad action. The narration is quite informative. The scenes covered are also very interesting, filmed in various seasons, in the open country with some lines actually 'grassed over', along the Mississippi River and other places of interest, and even some street running. Branch line operations are common throughout the video. The power lash-ups are vintage with F7's, SW1's, SD40's, etc...and some cascade green BN's and other lines like SOO Line make occasional appearances. A great all around presentation of a line that "once was". Keep in mind that this video was originally filmed in the early 1970's, so the sharpness is a bit duller than we are used to with other productions. But it does not take away from the theme presented. It gives us that historical point of view that we often forget.
A great production that I believe will be enjoyed for years to come. I look forward to seeing more of this type of video from C-Vision.

I loved seeing the old power,but I just wish the photographer would have sprug
for sound since most of it was filmed in the late 70's and early 80's it
would have been great to hear the old motive power.

It could use more pictures of Wisconsin since Milwaukee Road was based there.

As an avid Milwaukee Road fan, having grown up in Oconomowoc, I seen the Milwaukee road almost daily. I loved the video, of course almost anything about the MR I like but I wish I could find more on the area between Milwaukee and LaCrosse, WI. But it is a good video and would like to see more of the midwest.
