The Milwaukee Road F-7's and GP-9's held down the rails here, with SW-1's and FM H10-44's handling the local switching chores. A few scenes from the Soo Line in the U.P. of Michigan are also featured.
Come along as we follow the C&NW's Shoreland and Valley "400's" pulled by E units and freight trains being handled by the H16-66 "Baby Trainmasters", GP-30's, and the GP-35/F-3 slug/GP-35 lash-ups. Plenty of GP-7's and former KATY AS-16M Baldwins are included. Transitioning through the years, the Alco C-628's arrive on the scene.
Rounding out this DVD are the Green Bay & Western Alco's at Green Bay, resplendent in their red and gray scheme. Now sit back, return to a nostalgic time, and enjoy railroading as it once was in a part of the Upper Midwest that had been rarely documented.

This is an amazing video! I really enjoyed seeing all those vintage locos in action but the added bonus was seeing all the "billboard" boxcars, nearly all of which were fallen flag roads. Good stuff. It was also fun to see all the different cars and trucks from the 60's and 70's and the various depots and facilities. I was hoping for more footage in the UP and some carferry stuff but I still highly recommend this one.
