Trains Along the Upper Mississippi Volume II (DVD)

Trains Along the Upper Mississippi Volume II (DVD)

BNSF's St. Croix Subdivision

Tracing the eastern banks of the upper Mississippi River is BNSF's St. Croix Subdivision, a mostly double-tracked route providing access for a nonstop parade of traffic from LaCrosse, Wisconsin to Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota. Pentrex takes you across the entire Sub, shooting throughout the seasons to bring you a unique perspective on this important, busy line.

Starting at the Grand Crossing diamond in LaCrosse, where BNSF crosses Canadian Pacific trackage, we follow intermodal, coal, grain, taconite, manifest, and other trains along the shores of the Mississippi. Bald Eagles are seen circling overhead, boats ply the waters, and train whistles echo off the surrounding bluffs.

With the variety of trains comes a great variety of motive power. Two Dash-9s make their maiden voyages in Heritage II paint schemes; an original GP30 is seen working the local at Bay City; three GP20s head up a grain train, even BN's "Pulling for Freedom" locomotive is spotted - the volume and diversity is amazing.

Whether the summer sun is beating down on the rails or winter's snows are flying off them, trains and more trains keep on rolling across BNSF's St. Croix Subdivision. Here's a great opportunity for you to enjoy the action!

@deke8706 completly wrong sir. BNSF 1991 was turned into BNSF 9299 and repainted into the h2 paint. now numbered 8199. the BNSF 9297 is a experimental paintscheme , it was former BN cascade green paint. so yeah. research them . it will prove im right.

@falko73 BN 1991 , it is now BNSF 8199 former 9299. it is in BNSF H2 paint.

[railfankasey]
