Review of Salute to the Soo Line DVD

A diesel era look at the Soo Line Railroad from their rail yards in Chicago through Rondout and on to Milwaukee. The Soo is then seen working across scenic Wisconsin and along the picturesque Mississippi River to the Twin Cities. This segment is on a former mainline of the Milwaukee Road. From Minneapolis to St. Paul you'll see various trains, yards and towns as the Soo Line travels across Minnesota and North Dakota to a connection with the CP Rail at Portal. The action includes yard switching, locals, mainline freights and a diesel and caboose pace scene. See 15 different models of Soo EMD diesel power with everything form GP7's to SD60M's! Plus you'll see Amtrak and Metra run throughs and the SOO's connecting roads of: CP Rail, BN, TC&W, RRV&W, WC, CN, C&NW, and the DM&E.
