C. Vision's cameras take you on a journey of discovery across the former Milwaukee Road mainline from St. Paul, Minnesota to Summit, SD. The line's current operators, Canadian Pacific, Minnesota Commercial, Twin Cities & Western, and BNSF keep this line active and interesting, and we will see all of them in operation. We take a look back to TC&W's operations in the early to mid-1990's, as well as current operations. A cabride from Hopkins to St. Paul Yard aboard TC&W's short-lived SD20's, through the Depression Corridor and over Short Line Bridge, is something you won't want to miss! Along with the SD20's, we capture TC&W's classic fleet of GP10's in operation before they were replaced by Caterpillar GP20C's in 1997. From 2007-2009, we return to the TC&W to document new unit train operations, along with a renaissance of older EMD power on TC&W turn jobs. RRV&W GP10's, leased CP GP9's, TC&W's GP39-2's, and the occasional CAT are all seen hauling freight across Minnesota. Coal trains for Southern Minnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative in Ruebel began operating with BNSF run-through power during the production period, making for interesting subjects on a line that hadn't seen coal trains for many years. SOO Line SD60's were the primary power for ethanol trains on the TC&W at the time we shot this program, and you'll see several of these trains in operation. Not to be outdone, BNSF puts on a spectacular show with a variety of motive power that will not be seen again! SD40-2's were the most common power on through freights, although many other rare examples of BNSF motive power were seen leading trains. Several BNSF first-generation diesels are seen in action, as well as BNSF's only operating SDP40, which was captured leading a phosphate train with two Montana Rail Link SD45's. We're sure you'll enjoy seeing this line operating as the Milwaukee Road intended, as BNSF freights kept the jointed rail polished on their journeys to and from the Pacific Northwest and Montana. From the Mississippi River Valley, to the surprising beauty of the Coteau Des Prairies landscape of eastern South Dakota, this program comprehensively documents the unique operations, motive power, and scenery across this historic route.

During the remarkable 147-year history of the Chicago and North Western Railroad Company from 1848 to 1995, the railroad fielded a variety of main line and branch line service throughout the Midwest and High Plains region, not to mention several locomotive types to move those trains.
A secondary C&NW main line from Chicago ran northwest through Wisconsin, Minnesota, and South Dakota to Pierre, Dakota Territory in 1880. This route was finally completed across South Dakota to Rapid City in 1907. In the late 1970s, many American Locomotive Company units were based at Huron, South Dakota, due to their lightweight and pulling capacity. This specific suitability to the areas light rail and slow speeds established the Pierre to Winona route as the ALCO line.
In this video, photographer Fred Crissey follows the ALCO Line between Winona, Minnesota and Pierre, South Dakota, from 1977 to 1981. Also included are the Plainview, Minnesota and Aberdeen to Huron, South Dakota branch lines.
This program features awesome ALCO locomotives that include RS2, RSD4, RSD5, RS32, and C425 models along with EMD SD-7R and SD-9s.
This is one part of the C&NW that was very unique, but short-lived. Let C. Vision bring these memories into your home for life!

The Soo Line Railroad was a classic Midwest class one that operated from Portal, North Dakota to Sault Saint Marie, Michigan, along with many branch lines throughout its system. This railroad sported many different types of locomotives with several different lettering schemes. Photographer Fred Crissey spent time documenting movements on the Soo Line in the late 1970s. The segments Fred captured include the Minneapolis, Minnesota to Owen, Wisconsin line, continuing eastward to Byron Hill. Portions of the original Soo main line from Minneapolis east to Prentice, Wisconsin including the line from Dresser to Superior are featured. We also get a chance to view operations between Medford and Prentice, Wisconsin. Fred also travels to central Minnesota to follow the Paynesville Sub that runs from Minneapolis to Glenwood. Our show concludes with scenes of two GP-9s on a train through Fullerton, North Dakota.
You will be amazed when watching Soo Line GP-9s, SD-40s, GP-40s, GP-38 dash 2s and even F-7s! This show is one that every Soo Line fan should have in their collection!
Color silent films with narration and music.
Running time 78 minutes

C. Vision Productions takes you to central Wisconsin and visits the small village of Junction City. This is where the Milwaukee Road and the Soo Line once crossed each other over a diamond, giving the town its name. Today, the CN Railway is in charge of movements on both lines keeping Junction Citys name relevant to the reason it was named.
C. Vision cameras capture a variety of movements through Junction City beginning in the Soo Line days of 1979. Then you will see several Wisconsin Central movements in 1993 and 2001 including Soo Line Steam locomotive #1003! Exciting CN movements will keep you entertained for the remainder of the show. Along with a wide variety of CN power, many trains are led with locomotives from the Illinois Central, Grand Trunk, BNSF and some of the remaining Wisconsin Central units. Even more action is captured for you when you add in trackage rights trains from the Union Pacific and detours from the Canadian Pacific!
With trains either pounding the diamond or taking the junctions from one main to another, this show has it all! You will surely enjoy the two hours of exciting action in Junction City, Wisconsin!
