Review of Railfanning the Upper Great Lakes Volume 1 DVD

In June 1982, Ken Bealer and friends flew into Minneapolis and then drove up to Duluth, MN for a few days and chased a DMIR train to Dock-#5 and back to Proctor.

They then chased a northbound from Proctor to and back from the Fairlane Pellet plant. Then over to Escanaba, MI where they chased a Escanaba-Green Bay ore train behind high-hood C&NW C628's.

At Green Bay, WI, they spent 4 days chasing the all-ALCO road, boat train and road jobs between Green Bay and Winona, WI. The trip ends south of St. Paul shooting BN/MILW freights on the mainline.
