Excellent: I grabbed a Blu-Ray copy of this DVD and its nicely photographed and well done, narration, maps and graphics are similar to other Plets express DVD's, this is a must have DVD for anyone who's a fan of modern day CP Rail operations or anyone who just enjoy's watching well photographed modern day mainline operations, this DVD shows a large variety of CP Rail trains and motive power everything from double stacks, grain trains, unit crude oil to locals powered by "Geep" Genset locomotives. Get a copy while you can you won't be disappointed.

To my knowledge � the CPR La Crosse to Milwaukee is a line not covered on video by very many producers. Question: Why not? Here is a video that is excellent for coverage of any rail line. CP power from new to the old�. including the �red barns�. A great variety of the other company�s power is seen. Being an Amtrak route gives the passenger trains for those interested. History is seen in the old depots and structures along the way. Lots of scenery across the American dairy state is seen as trains pass over interesting bridges. A real gem of a video for all, not just fans of the CPR.
