In this program, C. Vision Productions takes you on a tour of Canadian Pacific's River Subdivision along the beautiful Mississippi River, between the years 1998 and 2002. The River Sub is a portion of the former Milwaukee Road mainline between Chicago and the Twin Cities. At the time of production, this route hosted a variety of trains from CP (Soo Line), I&M Rail Link, Union Pacific, and Amtrak. In addition, Burlington Northern and BNSF run-through power is viewed on coal trains bound for the Columbia Energy Center near Portage, Wisconsin. Many older EMD and GE locomotives are seen in operation, including models SD40, SD40-2, C30-7, GP40, GP38-2, SD60, SD60M, SD70MAC, and SD90MAC. The I&M Rail Link operated with a fleet of real classics, with models SD35, SD40, SD45, and SD9 all appearing in this show. CP’s AC4400CW fleet was still new during this time period, with these powerful pullers becoming quite plentiful by the early 2000s. We'll see a great variety of trains throughout the video, with coal, grain, intermodal, and general freight trains keeping the rails polished during our visits. All of this and more can be found in this C. Vision full-length presentation.
Coverage area is St. Paul, Minnesota to La Crescent, Minnesota. Notable locations included are St. Paul, Newport, Hastings, Red Wing, Frontenac, Lake City, Maple Springs, Wabasha, Kellogg, Minnesota City, Winona, and La Crescent.
