Minnesota's Railroads, Volume 5 continues C. Vision's tour of railroads operating in the Land of 10,000 Lakes! In this production, we visit 3 unique railroads. First is the newly formed Northern Lines Railway. This railroad operates over ex-BNSF rails in the St. Cloud area. An awesome site is the East Job that uses a Northern Lines painted caboose and crosses the Mississippi River Bridge near downtown. We also follow their ex-Belt Railway of Chicago GP-10's on the West Job to St. Joseph and a run on the Cold Spring Spur.
Another fabulous shortline is the Cloquet Terminal in Cloquet. Formerly known as the Duluth and Northeastern, this shortline uses aging SW-1 locomotives and an SW-1000 as they tend to freight car movement for the Sappi Paper Mill, Specialty Minerals and USG's ceiling tile plant. They also interchange traffic with the BNSF.
Then we show you a special treat compliments of the Lake Superior Railroad Museum. The LSRM operates the Northshore Scenic Railroad from Duluth to Two Harbors. In this segment, we document a special train that was put together for an annual "Railfan Weekend" excursion. The train includes restored Great Northern NW-5 number 192 and a restored GN wood caboose! You will also see LSRM's Duluth Missabe & Iron Range SD-18 and Soo Line GP-30 in action!
Minnesota's Railroads, Volume 5 is truly unique. It's a video you will enjoy adding to your collection!
