Review of CN In & Around Chicago Land Volume 1 The Waukesha Sub DVD

This production was 5 Years in the making, and viewers will see everything from the latest General Electric Deliveries with the "CN 100" livery, to several locomotives of CN's Heritage Fleet, to the leased power era of CitiRail, CEFX and PRLX locomotives adding a splash of color to locomotive lashups. Add in the last of the BC Rail units, Canadian cowl GE's, standard cab Das
