Along the Route of the Milwaukee Road, Vol. 2

In this show, we will follow BNSF's historic and scenic former Milwaukee Road mainline from Summit, South Dakota to Terry, Montana, with extended coverage to Miles City, Montana. Also covered in this program, the "Core Lines", from Sioux City, Iowa to Aberdeen, South Dakota, host a variety of local freights, extras, and grain trains as the rails traverse the serene South Dakota countryside. We will also follow several Dakota & Iowa trains across their former Milwaukee rails with the railroad's classy SD39's, SD40-2's, and GP9's in charge. A great variety of BNSF motive power can be seen in this show, as many older locomotives were assigned to manifest and local trains that traversed the route during the production period. Further west, more unit grain and coal trains are seen in operation with newer locomotives leading the way. You'll enjoy seeing the changing landscape as the program unfolds, as we travel across the rolling Coteau Des Prairies landscape of the east, through Missouri River country near Mobridge, then along the buttes through the arid landscape of southwestern North Dakota, and finally, we'll explore the desolate rocky hills and valleys of eastern Montana. Come along, as we explore one of BNSF's best-kept secrets, in "Along the Route of the Milwaukee Road, Volume 2".

Wow! That looks great Chris! I wouldn't mind a copy. Are you going to be down at the Souix Falls Model Train Show again this Saturday? Maybe I can pick up some copies then.

[clasko69]

Yes, we will be there in conjunction with Teskey's Trains! See you then!

Great preview. The horse's looked more interested in you then the train. I'm originally from Aberdeen, how much filming did you do there?

[clasko69]

There are a couple scenes right in Aberdeen, but several all around. Thank you for your comments!

@cochranexyz At least engines (in the midwest) don't get painted very much

[cochranexyz]

@BNSF6127 :30 On the big reefer. I wish those folks would instead paint containers.

[BNSF6127]

@cochranexyz I didn't see graffiti in this preview? What are you talking about?

[BNSF6127]

The ones that still remain (if any) have their heads turned. They may all be gone by now.

@BNSF6127 Do the MILW signals have the heads turned away from the tracks?

[BNSF6127]

ABS is in service from TCW Junction (Appleton) to ESS Hettinger, although all of the MILW signals have been replaced. Some MILW signals can be found west of Hettinger but are inactive.

[fullglottalstop]

Do they still have ABS signals along the route, or have they all been replaced?

Makes me miss Montana.
