In Part 1 of the Plets Express’ Wisconsin Central series that was made in 2000, there are a parade of diesels on not only the WC itself, but also other road names like the Algoma Central with 1755 now at the Potomac Eagle in West Virginia, the Escanaba & Lake Superior with Great Northern Baldwin RS12 Diesel number 300, a 1992 Flashback to the Green Bay & Western, Chicago & Northwestern, Union Pacific, SOO Line, & BN on the LS&I, as well as some steam with 261 & 1003 at Locations like Gladstone Yard, Wells Bridge over the Escanaba River, Bark River, Powers, Daggett with some Wig-Wag Signals, Stephenson, Wallace, Menomonee, Peshtigo Wisconsin, the Green Bay area with Norwood Yard, the National Railroad Museum with Milwaukee Road Fairbanks Moorse diesel number 767, Soo Line 4-6-2 number 2718 which is the sister engine to since retired excursion star 2719 at Duluth, & Union Pacific Big Boy 4017 which is the relative engine to restored excursion star 4014 at Cheyenne Wyoming, & North Side Yard, plus Marinette, Pensaukee, Hermansville, Norway WI, the Niagara Paper Mill, Spaulding, Rapid River Bridge at Whitefish, Isabella, Cooks, Manistique, Gulliver, Gilchrest, Cathy, Trout Lake, Soo St. Marie with Edward L. Ryerson on the St. Mary’s River, Bellevue Bridge, Searchmont, Kinross, Rudyard (named after the creator of the Jungle Book), Newbury, Engadine, Escanaba, & so much more.<br><br>Fun fact: On 261’s 4th of July 1998 excursion, Pentrex was also there which was covered in “Steam ’98”.<br><br>The music in the opening & closing credits was also used in some titles by TM Books & Video, but sadly since 2001 despite that these scenes were shot in the late 90s, the WC has since been purchased by Canadian National, just months after the VHS version was released.
