Think back to a time when green machines roamed the range pulling heavy trains of taconite; when a friendly wave from the conductor in his caboose was commonplace. A time when the sound of roaring EMD's broke the silence of the crisp Northwoods air. Hop on board with us as we travel back to the early 1990's and return to an era of railroading that may be gone, but not forgotten...
This is: Burlington Northern Minnesota Ore Lines.
Burlington Northern Railroad action is seen traveling over the former Great Northern Railway's Minnesota ore lines throughout the famous Mesabi Iron Range. See the BN as they load ore cars with taconite pellets at the Keewatin and Hibbing taconite plants. The long and heavy ore trains then travel over 100 miles through scenic Minnesota forests to reach BN's shipping port on the shores of Lake Superior at Allouez, Wisconsin. See the ship Mesabi Miner, a huge 1,000 foot ore boat that’s arriving at the Superior Entry for loading at BN Dock 5. Also included is a tribute to both the Great Northern Railway and the legendary freighter, Edmund Fitzgerald. Classic BN diesel power includes: GP9, GP10, SD9, SD40-2 and SD60M. Most BN ore trains and the Kelly Lake locals even operate with a caboose! A few trains of the DM&IR, DWP & WC are also seen. Footage era early 1990’s from the camera of Bradley A. Plets.

Awesome 💚 👌 👏 👍
Plets express is the best I have several dvds by him keep up the good work
I just got this Blu-Ray this afternoon. I love it, I going to watch it a second time later tonight.
What a wonderful video and memories of an absolute gem.
Go big Green
I remember when the SD40-2’s were brand new. Lived and grew up by the Northern Pacific and remember the day it became BN.
We used to camp within a stones throw of the BN tracks near Carlton, MN. You could hear the rumble echoing through the night for 10 minutes before the train roared past the campground. Good memories indeed.
it is crazy to think how many RS3K leslies like at 2:10 actually lasted through the 2010s in decent shape. i was not lucky enough to hear many of them in person, which is why DVDs like yours are great. because sometimes, no matter how hard you try things can elude you. I will add this to my radar and hopefully purchase this at some point soon. Your scenes of the SD60Ms (then BNSF) Across North Dakota and even the one here at 3:32, man that drives me nuts. Those 3 piece units and the K3HA were just perfection.
It is always interesting to me how different people notice or like something that I may never have paid attention to. You're right, I do like the horn at 2:10 :-)
Just received my dvd the other day. Another great video from Plets. Well worth it.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. We spent such a long time going through all of that priceless footage from the 90's. It was a lot of fun to see and hear those great EMD's roar again! Take care, thanks for watching
Beautiful footage! Love those white fave SD40-2s
Thank you, I was also fond of the white face 40's and 60's.
