Trains Along the Upper Mississippi River Vol. 1

Trains Along the Upper Mississippi Volume 1 (DVD Video)
Canadian Pacifics River Subdivision
Flanking the western shore of the upper Mississippi River runs Canadian Pacifics River Subdivision, a busy main line that supports a nonstop flow of traffic. Pentrex traveled the line in 1999, through hot summer days and cold winter chill to bring you the excitement of railroading in this scenic territory. Beginning at River Junction, just west of LaCrosse, Wisconsin, we follow the line to St. Paul, Minnesota. As much of the subdivision hugs the mighty Mississippi, we spot the trains against backdrops of wooded bluffs and sometimes blue, sometimes frozen waters.
Milwaukee Road and Soo Line operated this route prior to Canadian Pacific. Youll see motive power and varied paint schemes from all three appearing frequently, such as Milwaukee Road GP40s, Soo Line SD60s, and Canadian Pacifics AC4400s. Highlights include a candy apple red Soo Line SD40-2 and a Canadian Pacific SD40-2F Red Barn wearing the dual flag paint scheme, not to mention plenty of Soo Line cabooses. I&MRL trains, with trackage rights to St. Paul, also polish these rails. The I&MRL sports some of the older power, including SD9s, SD45s, and SD35s. Plus, Amtraks Empire Builder uses this route to and from Chicago. Plenty of trains, gorgeous scenery, great variety - thats railroading on Canadian Pacifics River Subdivision!

good video, I have it at home

At this point I'm sure it's on DVD. It should about $30.00 retail. Pretty much all Pentrex vids go for that much.

@moternm5 though rare for mainline. Some RR today use them on primative lines or locals that have to do alot of switching.They call them "platforms" in some cases

[@moternm5]

they don't even use cabooses anymore, this is just for show probably
