Review of Taconite Trains of Minnesota DVD

Featuring the Burlington Northern Railroad, Cyprus North Shore Mining Company, LTV Steel Mining Railroad and the Duluth Missabe & Iron Range Railroad. See mainline ore trains moving taconite pellets from Minnesota's seven taconite processing plants to the shipping ports on Lake Superior. Also see yard action, open pit mines, trains hauling crude ore to the crusher and a brief history including some steam action. Witness the interesting variety of locomotives that pull these extremely heavy ore trains.

This action packed video was filmed from 1988 to 1991 by Bradley A. Plets. Steam era footage was provided by Ben Imbertson.
